Hercules Strip Seal Joints (HSJ)
Expansion Joints
Hercules Strip Seal Joints (HSJ)
Hercules Strip Seal Joints (HSJ)is designed to allow for movement from 50mm to 102mm. The joint consists of elastomeric seal which are fitted to the extruded steel profile and anchored by loop anchor system. The elastomeric seal consists of VIRGIN Poly Chloroprene and supply in one continuous length & the steel profile extruded from structural steel such as Weathering Steel S355 JOW, ASTM A588 or non- weathering steel such as S275 or equivalent.
DESIGN CONCEPT
Designed by incorporating elastomeric seal (movement + water proofing) and fixed by a special extruded steel profile.
MATERIAL
Consists of the following components which the materials comply with the Oman standard Specifications for Road & Bridge Construction 2010 & AASHTO specification.
| Material | Specification |
|---|---|
| Extruded Steel Profile | S275JR (EN10025), S355 JOW ASTM A588 or equivalent. |
| Anchor Plate | S275JR (EN10025), S355 JOW ASTM A588 or equivalent. |
| Loop anchor Bars | Reinforcement bar for concrete reinforcement grade 250 or equivalent |
