Title: INSTALLATION OF PREFORMED NEOPRENE COMPRESSION JOINT SEALS
Accession Number: 00215213
Record Type: Component
Abstract: SINCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF IN-SERVICE PERFORMANCE OF A COMPRESSION JOINT SEAL IS DEPENDENT TO SOME DEGREE UPON PROPER INSTALLATION, THE PRINCIPLES OF POSITIONING ARE DESCRIBED. THE SEAL POSITION IN JOINT SHAPE-EXPANSION, -LONGITUDINAL,-CONTRACTION JOINTS ARE DESCRIBED. THE RULES FOR POSITIONING TRANSVERSE JOINTS SIMILARLY APPLY TO LONGITUDINAL JOINTS. THE PRACTICE OF BEVELING THE EDGES OF SAW CUTS AND SETTING THE COMPRESSION SEALS NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE BEVEL BEGAN IN SWITZERLAND AND IS NOW SPREADING THROUGHOUT EUROPE. POST-CONSTRUCTION CONDITION SURVEYS OF MANY MILLIONS OF FEET OF BOTH COMPRESSION SEALS AND FIELD- MOLDED SEALANTS LEAVE NO QUESTION THAT THIS IS THE DIRECTION TO GO IN JOINTING AND SEALING PRACTICE. AUTOMATIC AND SEMIAUTOMATIC METHODS OF MACHINE INSTALLATION ARE DESCRIBED. DESIGN OF BRIDGE APPROACH JOINTS IS DESCRIBED. SEALING PRACTICES IN THE DESIGN OF A COMPRESSION SEALING SYSTEM FOR BRIDGES ARE DISCUSSED.
