Abstract:
A support beam having a top and a side edge for supporting a precast concrete panel having a top and a bottom with one side edge thereof overlapping said beam side edge, whereby concrete or grout may be introduced through an end of a space between the bottom of the panel and the top of the beam which is adjacent the one side edge of the panel so as to support the panel from the beam; andan elongate seal strip formed of resilient material anchored along a first longitudinal edge to said beam adjacent its said side edge to extend substantially the length thereof, and having an upstanding portion extending upwardly from said beam top to engage said panel bottom and form a sealing relation therewith;said seal strip upstanding portion being sufficiently resilient so as to become deflected when said panel side edge is set down upon said beam and maintain said sealing relation when said panel is thereafter vertically adjusted relative to said beam and resist horizontal pressure of the concrete or grout introduced into said space to prevent leakage thereof past the engaged upstanding portion of said seal strip.
