ABSTRACT:
A highway joint system, and the method of forming the same, wherein bars are employed between adjacent concrete highway sections having obliquely disposed end joints imposing a biasing force upon the sections during the occurrence of section lateral displacement due to expansion. The joint system utilizes biasing bars which may employ torsion forces for realigning the highway sections after expansion thereof, and the system contemplates the utilization of a tongue and groove interconnection in conjunction with the bars to prevent "buckling" and other misalignment at concrete highway joints. A V-shaped divider plate is employed to define the tongue and groove relationship, and this plate supports the biasing bars, and is supported by a framework capable of releasable attachment to the bars.
