Abstract

The disclosure relates to a joint-edge element for expansion joints in roadways wherein the anchoring parts, that extend in the longitudinal direction of the joint, just as the remaining parts of the joint-edge profiled element, are joined in one piece to the joint-edge element. At least one profiled part of the joint-edge element is produced by dividing the double profiled element in two profiled halves. Joint-edge elements having the double length of the particular extrusion casting or rolled element are produced through a single operation of extrusion or rolling. A particularly expedient embodiment is produced in such a manner that the anchoring parts are formed by parting a connecting portion of the double profiled element. The parting operation can be performed without considering the precision of manufacture, with relatively low expenditure. A secure holding and a perfect embedding in the concrete under-structure can be obtained in such a manner that the anchoring parts are produced through the parting operation effected along a line extending in the longitudinal direction of the joint and effecting a serration-type reciprocal meshing of the two halves of the connecting part.…
