ABSTRACT:
An expansion joint filler strip and cover assembly for a joint formed by spaced structural sections includes elongate base members secured to respective structural sections and having a joint therebetween. The base members have spaced apart, upstanding first and second and third walls with the third wall being substantially contiguous with the joint forming wall surface of the respective structural section. The first and second wall portions define an elongate, channel therebetween and the second and third wall portions define an elongate, recess therebetween with the third wall portion terminating in an edge spaced below the terminating edges of the first and second wall portions. A replaceable, elastomeric strip extends across the joint and has side portions secured to the base members with at least one side portion having an elongate flange received within the elongate recess and an outer surface even with the terminating edges of the first and second wall portions. An elongate cover member engaged with the terminating edges of the first and second wall portions and the elastomeric strip. An elongate tongue is received into the channel between the first and second wall portions. Preferably, clips in the channels provide an interference engagement with the first and second wall portions and the cover member tongue for retaining the cover member and the side portion of the elastomeric strip on the respective base member.
