ABSTRACT:
A method of sealing joints e.g. between concrete sections in road, bridge and parking deck structures against passage of water, dirt, etc., is described wherein recesses are formed in the concrete surface on each side of the joint and a specifically designed flexible elastic joint-spanning strip having openings therethrough is placed therein. A layer of rigid-setting grout is then placed over the strip, the openings in the strip when filled with grout serving to support the upper layer of grout and to prevent flexing and cracking thereof by vehicle traffic passing thereover, as well as to anchor the strip to the concrete bodies.
