Abstract: A roadway expansion joint device comprising two joint profiles placed at a distance from each other. Each profile comprises at least one upwards extending leg having at least one through hole. A pipe extends from at least one of the through holes and at least one supporting rod is provided, which fits inside and extends out from at least one of the pipes in one of the profiles. The supporting rod supports a flexible element, which is placed between the two joint profiles. The device can be used for any types of constructions joining different type of roadway parts to solve problems with bearing capacity of the flexible element while at the same time having a joint with the possibility of compensating for and taking up movements, while having a low total weight.

Abstract: To avoid leakage in concrete structures with dilatation joints and to prevent dirt from accumulating in the joints there has been developed a dilatation joint element which is easy to mount, reliable and essentially maintenance-free. The dilatation joint element according to the invention is comprised of opposed, longitudinal angle elements interconnected in pairs and made of metal with interposed jointing compound, reinforcement bands and robber elements. With curved band sections and rubber elements between the angle elements and a curved jointing compound section which is attached to the upper band section there is provided a supporting, power-compensating and power-distributing function when the joint is subjected to load, both at compression, expansion and shearing, providing a tight, reliable and loadable joint with good fatigue strength.
