ABSTRACT:
A sealed joint in a concrete highway or the like is installed in a channel formed above the usual shrinkage control cut between adjoining concrete slabs by depositing a mass of uncured ductile and elastic adhesive, preferably a special silicone material, in such channel and embedding a preformed length of a cured ductile and elastic material, again preferably a special silicone material, in such adhesive. The length is preferably of strip formation and has intermediate areas of its upper and lower surfaces covered with respective fillers of an anti-bonding agent to provide for joint expansion and retraction. The joint installation channel is preferably unusually shallow and may be dry cut. Its width is sufficiently narrow that traffic loads are carried by the concrete bordering the channel. Preformed strip is introduced into the adhesive in the channel from a stable roll of same.
