Device and method for housing a steel reinforcement in an area where joints are made between first and subsequently poured concrete structures

摘要

A protective device for a housing steel reinforcement in an area where joints are made between first and subsequently poured concrete structures. The device includes a sheet of material having a first end portion and an opposed second end portion. The sheet of material is folded such that the first end portion and the second end portion are in an overlapping facing relationship to form a housing of generally rectangular cross section. Adhesive tape is wrapped around a portion of the generally tubular housing to hold the sheet of material in the folded position. The adhesive tape allows quick access to the interior of the housing by cutting the tape and unfolding the sheet of material. A plurality of steel reinforcement bars are provided having a first portion positioned within the housing for being imbedded in the subsequently poured concrete structure and second portion extending out of the housing through an aperture in the housing for being imbedded in the first poured concrete structure.
