Definitions
- This invention relates to concrete flatwork such as slabs and pavements, joints for such flatwork, and products for providing improved concrete flatwork joint performance.
- isolation joints are used to create a separation between the concrete flatwork panel and adjacent panels or other building components, such as walls, columns, trenches, man-holes, bollards, etc.
- Expansion joints are used in the same way as an isolation joint except that it contains a compressible material or void space sufficient to accommodate subsequent expansion of the concrete flatwork panel(s).
- Construction joints are used at the termination of a single slab placement and thus defines the joint between adjacent panels cast independently. Construction joints are generally formed with removable or leave in place forms, sawcut full depth, or slip formed (temporary forms used with low slump concrete mixtures).
- Contraction joints are used as means of allowing for the concrete contraction by providing a plane of weakness. Contraction joints are often induced cracks created with the use of a saw cut, crack inducer, or tooled notch in the surface of the concrete.
- Isolation joints often do not provide for positive load transfer between adjacent panels and other building components. Expansion joints are wider than other joints and therefore more prone to both joint spalling, such as damage to the joint edges, from wheeled traffic or other objects crossing and impacting the joint, and the intrusion of liquids. The intrusion of liquids can cause numerous problems including the pumping of saturated subgrade materials and faulting of pavement panels in exterior pavements, and subgrades heaving due to frost in cold climates or areas where expansive soils are found. Construction joints can also be prone to joint spalling under traffic especially if sufficient load transfer is not provided to create sufficient joint stability. Contraction joints are prone to dominant joint activation where some joints open wider than others, leading to the loss of load transfer through aggregate interlock thus also increasing the likelihood of joint spalling. There are additional issues as well.
- All four joint types are generally filled or sealed after their construction in an attempt to either protect the joint from spalling under traffic or prevent the ingress of moisture, liquids, contaminants, or bacteria.
- Load transfer with joint stability is most often provided in any of these joints through the use of either dowels, which are generally steel bars that are round or square in section, or keyways, which are tongue and groove type joints which can be formed with removable or leave in place forms.
- the invention which includes both products and methods, combines a plate dowel and either an armored joint assembly or a joint sealing assembly with a leave-in-place and/or reusable formwork assembly. Unlike any other joint product or system it is envisioned to be used in place of any one of the four joint types described above and overcome the various drawbacks of them listed above.
- the invention provides the opportunity for the contractor to place multiple panels at one time and negate the need for subsequent processes.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-section through two slabs of concrete on a subgrade exposing in cross-section an embodiment of the joint assembly according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a detailed view of a portion of FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 3 is a set of perspective views of exemplary load transfer plates of the type of plate dowel 62 in FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 1 two slabs of concrete 2 and 4 are seen in cross-section when cut open or seen from their outer edges.
- the concrete has the usual construction of binder and inclusions such as aggregate 6 .
- the slabs 2 , 4 rest on a typical subgrade or base material 8 .
- a divider plate 10 defines the upright edges 12 , 14 of the slabs 2 , 4 at a joint 16 where the slabs are adjacent each other. They “meet” at the joint 16 in the sense that they terminate at the joint 16 . They are also “separated” at the joint 16 in the sense that the divider plate 10 lies between them. They also further separate if the joint 16 between them is a construction and/or contraction joint and they move back from each other, under the action of concrete shrinkage or otherwise.
- the divider plate 10 includes a vertically oriented extension 18 , which extends from the subgrade or base 8 to the top of the slabs 2 , 4 .
- the extension 18 may have this extent by reason of incorporating a setting bracket 20 and a finishing and/or armoring structure 22 at set distances from each other equal to the desired heights of the slabs 2 , 4 , or be the same heights with exclusion of one or more of the setting bracket 20 and finishing strip 22 , or be other extents relative to the slabs 2 , 4 such as an extent shortened for saw cutting of the top portion of the joint 16 .
- the divider plate 10 as shown in FIG. 1 includes a plate support such as a setting bracket 20 and a top structure such as a finishing structure 22 .
- the setting bracket 20 includes a planar horizontal portion for resting and/or fastening to the subgrade or base 8 , or the plate support may include features similar to the bracket 20 which equivalently provide adequately for resting and/or fastening to the subgrade or base 8 and supporting the divider plate 10 . Equivalents might, for example, include wires that project feet to the subgrade or base 8 . They might include stakes driven into the subgrade or base 8 to which the plate support may attach.
- the setting bracket 20 also may be continuous along the joint 16 or intermittently project to the subgrade or base 8 .
- the divider plate 10 may be metal, such as aluminum, or other materials as desired, such as plastic.
- the divider plate includes a top structure such as a finishing and armoring structure 22 .
- the extreme top surfaces 21 , 23 of the structure 22 are substantially equal in height and provide guides for concrete surface finishing tools and equipment such as screeds, so as to permit accurate leveling, for example, of the tops of the slabs 2 , 4 .
- the structure 22 as in FIG. 2 and some embodiments of invention also include(s) joint expansion and contraction elements such as co-operating rails 24 , 26 , upon which the top surfaces 21 , 23 are formed. These elements are movable with their slabs as the slabs expand and/or contract, with the top surfaces 21 , 23 moving closer together and farther apart as dictated by expansion and contraction.
- Rails of the top structure may take various specific forms, as for example the rails 24 , 26 take the form of substantially mirror-image components of greater height that width, and upper and lower elements 28 , 30 and 32 , 34 that extend toward each other in close vertical and horizontal association.
- the upper elements 32 , 34 constitute as most preferred an overlapping pair of elements that by the turns of the minimal space between them create a short “labyrinth” of overlap and effectively “close” the space below themselves by their overlap.
- the rails of a top structure may as in rails 24 , 26 , also have laterally extending segments 36 , 38 , 40 , 42 that increase the thicknesses of portions of their upright elements 44 , 46 and provide channels such as 51 , 53 , 55 , 57 for seal elements such as 52 , 54 , 56 , 58 , such as hydrophilic gaskets of suitable rubber and the like. Additional channels and seal elements such as channel 59 and seal element 60 may also be included, in the case of 59 , 60 , for example, under upper element 32 of rail 24 .
- Retaining elements such as spring retaining elements 48 , 49 may exist within the interiors of the rails such as rails 24 , 26 , or equivalent structures for fitting against the portion 50 of the divider plate 10 in the area of the top structure such as structure 22 .
- the rails 24 , 26 may be releasably fastened together at various locations to rest atop portion 50 during slab formation, or provided with structure that equivalently places rails 24 , 26 in association with portion 50 during slab formation, such as clips and the like.
- the fastening elements should release the rails 24 , 26 from each other and may release the rails 24 , 26 from the portion 50 upon the appropriate degree of hardening of the slabs 24 , 26 .
- the rails 24 , 26 and all structures shown in FIG. 2 may be extended in longitudinal dimension (into the paper of FIG. 2 ) and be continuous extrusions or be intermittent in longitudinal extent, or otherwise, as for example, at various extents beyond their length exchanging or varying locations or sizes of specific structures. As most preferred, the rails and structures are continuous extrusions for manufacturing simplicity.
- the preferred embodiment may also include and most desirably does include load transfer plates such as for example plate dowel 62 .

Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/673,061, filed Jul. 18, 2012.
- This invention relates to concrete flatwork such as slabs and pavements, joints for such flatwork, and products for providing improved concrete flatwork joint performance.
- There are generally four types of joints used in concrete flatwork (slabs and pavements): isolation joints, expansion joints, construction joints and contraction joints. Isolation joints are used to create a separation between the concrete flatwork panel and adjacent panels or other building components, such as walls, columns, trenches, man-holes, bollards, etc. Expansion joints are used in the same way as an isolation joint except that it contains a compressible material or void space sufficient to accommodate subsequent expansion of the concrete flatwork panel(s). Construction joints are used at the termination of a single slab placement and thus defines the joint between adjacent panels cast independently. Construction joints are generally formed with removable or leave in place forms, sawcut full depth, or slip formed (temporary forms used with low slump concrete mixtures). Contraction joints are used as means of allowing for the concrete contraction by providing a plane of weakness. Contraction joints are often induced cracks created with the use of a saw cut, crack inducer, or tooled notch in the surface of the concrete.
- Each joint type has its drawbacks and problems. Isolation joints often do not provide for positive load transfer between adjacent panels and other building components. Expansion joints are wider than other joints and therefore more prone to both joint spalling, such as damage to the joint edges, from wheeled traffic or other objects crossing and impacting the joint, and the intrusion of liquids. The intrusion of liquids can cause numerous problems including the pumping of saturated subgrade materials and faulting of pavement panels in exterior pavements, and subgrades heaving due to frost in cold climates or areas where expansive soils are found. Construction joints can also be prone to joint spalling under traffic especially if sufficient load transfer is not provided to create sufficient joint stability. Contraction joints are prone to dominant joint activation where some joints open wider than others, leading to the loss of load transfer through aggregate interlock thus also increasing the likelihood of joint spalling. There are additional issues as well.
- All four joint types are generally filled or sealed after their construction in an attempt to either protect the joint from spalling under traffic or prevent the ingress of moisture, liquids, contaminants, or bacteria. Load transfer with joint stability is most often provided in any of these joints through the use of either dowels, which are generally steel bars that are round or square in section, or keyways, which are tongue and groove type joints which can be formed with removable or leave in place forms.
- There are products on the market that provide improved joint performance. Concerning load transfer, plate dowels are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,354,760 and 7,481,031, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference in their entireties. Concerning joint sealing, an assembly designed to seal joints during the construction stage and not afterwards is described in Patent Co-operation Treaty document number PCT/AU2009/001376, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- Products have not previously existed that have all the advantages of both load transfer and joint sealing according to the products of the cited and incorporated patent and document as opposed to the separate load transfer and joint sealing advantages of the separate products in the cited and incorporated patent and document. The envisioned products have never existed in an assembly for simplified use of the contractor. The invention, which includes both products and methods, combines a plate dowel and either an armored joint assembly or a joint sealing assembly with a leave-in-place and/or reusable formwork assembly. Unlike any other joint product or system it is envisioned to be used in place of any one of the four joint types described above and overcome the various drawbacks of them listed above. By providing the joint stability, joint protection (armoring) and/or joint sealing required in a single assembly with a leave-in-place and/or reusable form, the invention provides the opportunity for the contractor to place multiple panels at one time and negate the need for subsequent processes.
-
FIG. 1 is a cross-section through two slabs of concrete on a subgrade exposing in cross-section an embodiment of the joint assembly according to the invention. -
FIG. 2 is a detailed view of a portion ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is a set of perspective views of exemplary load transfer plates of the type ofplate dowel 62 inFIG. 1 . - As in
FIG. 1 , two slabs ofconcrete aggregate 6. Theslabs base material 8. - A
divider plate 10 defines theupright edges slabs joint 16 where the slabs are adjacent each other. They “meet” at thejoint 16 in the sense that they terminate at thejoint 16. They are also “separated” at thejoint 16 in the sense that thedivider plate 10 lies between them. They also further separate if the joint 16 between them is a construction and/or contraction joint and they move back from each other, under the action of concrete shrinkage or otherwise. - The
divider plate 10 includes a verticallyoriented extension 18, which extends from the subgrade orbase 8 to the top of theslabs extension 18 may have this extent by reason of incorporating asetting bracket 20 and a finishing and/orarmoring structure 22 at set distances from each other equal to the desired heights of theslabs setting bracket 20 and finishingstrip 22, or be other extents relative to theslabs joint 16. - As just expressed, the
divider plate 10 as shown inFIG. 1 includes a plate support such as asetting bracket 20 and a top structure such as afinishing structure 22. Thesetting bracket 20 includes a planar horizontal portion for resting and/or fastening to the subgrade orbase 8, or the plate support may include features similar to thebracket 20 which equivalently provide adequately for resting and/or fastening to the subgrade orbase 8 and supporting thedivider plate 10. Equivalents might, for example, include wires that project feet to the subgrade orbase 8. They might include stakes driven into the subgrade orbase 8 to which the plate support may attach. Thesetting bracket 20 also may be continuous along thejoint 16 or intermittently project to the subgrade orbase 8. Thedivider plate 10 may be metal, such as aluminum, or other materials as desired, such as plastic. - Again as just expressed, and as shown in larger size in
FIG. 2 , the divider plate includes a top structure such as a finishing andarmoring structure 22. Theextreme top surfaces structure 22 are substantially equal in height and provide guides for concrete surface finishing tools and equipment such as screeds, so as to permit accurate leveling, for example, of the tops of theslabs - The
structure 22 as inFIG. 2 and some embodiments of invention also include(s) joint expansion and contraction elements such as co-operatingrails top surfaces top surfaces - Rails of the top structure may take various specific forms, as for example the
rails lower elements upper elements - The rails of a top structure may as in
rails segments upright elements upper element 32 ofrail 24. - Retaining elements such as
spring retaining elements rails portion 50 of thedivider plate 10 in the area of the top structure such asstructure 22. Therails portion 50 during slab formation, or provided with structure that equivalently placesrails portion 50 during slab formation, such as clips and the like. The fastening elements should release therails rails portion 50 upon the appropriate degree of hardening of theslabs - The
rails FIG. 2 may be extended in longitudinal dimension (into the paper ofFIG. 2 ) and be continuous extrusions or be intermittent in longitudinal extent, or otherwise, as for example, at various extents beyond their length exchanging or varying locations or sizes of specific structures. As most preferred, the rails and structures are continuous extrusions for manufacturing simplicity. - Referring again to
FIG. 1 , the preferred embodiment may also include and most desirably does include load transfer plates such as forexample plate dowel 62. As in the perspective views ofFIG. 3 , the plates may take on a variety of shapes, includingoval 63, rectangular 65, alternating triangular 67, 69 and double triangular 71. Load plate supports such as loadplate support bracket 73 inFIG. 1 are attached to and/or formed with or fromdivider plate 10. The load plate supports support load plates relative todivider plate 10 and assure or at least assist assuring proper orientations of load support plates for best use of the load plates. - In use, as by now perceived, to form a joint and pour two adjacent slabs simultaneously, the subgrade or base is prepared, as in
FIG. 1 , divider plates are extended and secured in series along the intended joint location for the distance the joint is to cover (or more or less), as inFIG. 1 , load plates are installed on their supports, as inFIG. 1 , top structures are installed, as inFIG. 1 , and concrete slabs are poured. The stated steps are carried out in such orders as make sense, with some interchangeability of order, such as placing load plates last before pouring, installing top structures last before pouring, etc. To the extent appropriate, additional steps are also taken such as preparing the load plates to break from being locked into poured concrete at both ends, and the like. Concrete finishing using the top surfaces of the top structure may or may not occur, and indeed, more or less than all the structures shown may be included or excluded from the method, as for example, the top structures, which may or may not be included in some situations, if and where saw cutting to create joints is desired. - The invention and especially its preferred embodiment are now described in such full, clear and concise and exact manner as to enable a person of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the same. All embodiments of invention that come with the scope of claims to be appended on the preparation and filing of a non-provisional patent application are to be deemed to be covered by the claims.
