Abstract:
A joint form is positioned in a damaged expansion joint to allow both sides of the joint to be repaired at the same time. The joint form remains as a permanent part of the repair, which avoids the time consuming conventional process of removing temporary forms, cleaning the repaired surfaces, and inserting an elastomeric seal into the expansion joint. Type-0 joint forms include a block-seal laminate including a foam block layer (e.g., closed-cell polyethylene) laminated to an upper elastomeric seal layer (e.g., closed-cell neoprene) without a stiffener board. Type-1 joint forms include a block-seal laminate with a stiffener board (e.g., fiberglass reinforced plastic or FRP) adhered to one side of the block-seal laminate. Type-2 joint forms include a pair of block-seal laminate panels on either side of a central stiffener board bonded to one side laminated to an upper seal layer. Joint forms may also be utilized to seal undamaged expansion joints.

Claim (Index 21):
The concrete deck of  claim 19 , wherein the joint form further comprises a center stiffener board bonded to at least the foam block portion of the joint form.
