Patent number: 7334963Abstract: A joint stabilizing apparatus having an expandable cylindrical housing is inserted into a circular hole drilled at a “loose joint” of a concrete slab that is to be stabilized against relative vertical displacement between adjacent slab sections. The hole is drilled downward into the concrete, centered on the plane of a lateral opening/joint in the concrete slab. The expandable housing comprises two rigid semi-circular housing halves, and the assembly is oriented inside of the circular hole such that the two housing halves are on opposite sides of the centerline of the lateral opening/joint. The housing halves are pushed apart by turning of a threaded bolt inside of the housing. Turning of the bolt causes two bi-laterally symmetric wedge blocks to draw towards each other, and pressing the bearing surfaces of the wedge blocks against inclined surfaces inside of the respective housing halves.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2005Date of Patent: February 26, 2008Assignee: Surface Dynamics, Inc.Inventors: Robert P. Costa, Do Sun Im

Patent number: 4473319Abstract: A method of resurfacing a road or the like wherein existing surface profile is first measured as a function of distance over the road surface. A desired profile is then identified as a function of measured road profile by simulating travel of a vehicle over the road surface and observing the quality of vehicle ride and/or pavement dynamic load while the spatial wavelength characteristics of measured profile are progressively attenuated. When ride quality and/or dynamic load of desired preselected standard is obtained, a resurface control signal is obtained as a conjoint function of distance along the road surface and the difference between measured profile and spatially attenuated profile. Road resurfacing equipment is also disclosed for selective removal of pavement surface material or selective deposition of paving material as a function of the control signal so obtained to achieve the desired resurfaced road profile.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1982Date of Patent: September 25, 1984Assignee: Surface Dynamics Inc.Inventor: Elson B.
