Abstract:
A precast concrete panel with a top and a bottom adapted to be assembled above a top surface of a support beam with one side edge thereof overlapping a side edge of the beam, whereby concrete or grout may be introduced through an end of a space between the bottom of the panel and the top surface of the beam which is adjacent the one side edge of the panel so as to support the panel from the beam; anda thin elongate seal strip formed of flexible material having a first anchoring portion along a first longitudinal edge anchored to said panel bottom adjacent to said panel side edge to extend substantially the length thereof, a contiguous mid portion extending from said anchoring portion, and a second anchoring portion along a second longitudinal edge adapted to engage and be anchored on either of said beam top surface and said beam side edge and form a sealing relation therewith; said seal strip mid portion being sufficiently flexible so as to flex outwardly from said beam side edge when said panel side edge is set down upon said beam top surface, to maintain said sealing relation when said panel is thereafter vertically adjusted relative to said beam, and to resist horizontal pressure of the concrete or grout introduced into said space to prevent passage thereof past said seal strip mid portion.
