  • the bays are'separated from one another and from the building walls 2, by longitudinal grooves or spaces 4 and transverse grooves or spaces 5, the grooves or spaces 4, 5 being of a width sufficient to allow for the expansion, contraction or differential settlement of the concrete.
  • the grooves or spaces are filled with a dry filler 6 (FIG. 9) comprising, for example, sugar-cane fiber, cork, expandedrubber, polystyrene.
  • a jointing system or assembly is located in position directly above the grooves or spaces 4, 5 between the bays 3.
  • the jointing system or assembly comprises sealing elements formed of neoprene.
  • the sealing elements could be formed of other elastomerical material such as polyurethane, polyvinyl-chloride or other rubber-like material.
  • the sealing elements include generally straight pieces 7 for location along the grooves or spaces at the sides of each bay, cross-over pieces 8 for location at the intersection of the grooves or spaces, L pieces 9 for location at corners of the structure, and T pieces 10 for location at joins between the outer boundary grooves or spaces of the raft and the intermediate grooves or spaces between the bay.
  • Each straight piece 7 is of substantially uniform shape throughout its length and comprises an inverted generally U-shaped central channel part having side walls 11 and a top wall or web 12.
  • the channel section is open along its lower side, and the side walls 11 are formed integrally with laterally extending flange parts 13 each formed along itsouter free edge with an upstanding rib 14 and formed also with an intermediate rib 15.
  • the straight sealing pieces 7 may be formed as extrusions and provided in short lengths or relative long continuous lengths, for example, lengths of 10 feet.
  • a mechanical joining and locating element 16 is provided at the join (FIG. 7), this joining element being of inverted U-shape channel section, flexible and preformed to locate in and protrude from the interior of the central channel part of an element 7.
  • the joining element 16 is located along its lower edges by ribs 17 formed along and integral with the sides 11 of the central channel part of the element 7.
  • ribs 17 formed along and integral with the sides 11 of the central channel part of the element 7.
  • two lengths of the sealing section 7 have their ends abutting at 18, the two lengths being joined together by a joining element 16.
  • the latter may be formed as extrusions of the same material as the sealing elements.
  • Each cross-over junction piece 8 (FlGS. 4 and 5) is of moulded construction and has two centrally located inverted channel parts 19 disposed in cross-wise relation and formed with lateral flange parts 20, these parts 19, 20 corresponding to the central channel part and lateral flanges of the longitudinal sealing section 7.
