Brief description of embodiments of a joint of merck sharp amp; dohme chaussee flexible, and seal obtained by such a process

摘要

The invention concerns a joint set between two road sections respectively supported by two adjacent structural elements (1). A running surface is formed by a surfacing coat (2) deposited on the elements and interrupted above the space which separates them to form a trench. A sealing element (4) is placed at the bottom of the trench covering the space, then aggregates and a binder are poured in forming a soft material (3) after setting. Before the aggregates and the binder are poured in, reinforcing elements are set in the trench which are fixed to the two structural elements on either side of the sealing element. Said reinforcing elements are open-worked to allow the aggregates to pass through. Thus they enable to reinforce the joints in the zones where it is likely to be pulled by the tensile force tending to cause the elements to be spaced apart.
