Expansion joint seal with load transfer and flexion

An expansion joint system, comprising:

• an elongated core,
• the elongated core composed of a resiliently compressible material,
• the elongated core having an elongated core longitudinal axis,
• the elongated core having an elongated core top,
• the elongated core top having an elongated core lateral width at the elongated core top and an elongated core bottom width at an elongated core bottom of the elongated core,
• the elongated core having an elongated core height intermediate the elongated core top and the elongated core bottom,
• the elongated core having an elongated core first side,
• the elongated core first side being generally perpendicular to the elongated core top,
• the elongated core having an elongated core second side,
• the elongated core second side being generally perpendicular to the elongated core top, and
• an open shaft provided into the elongated core from an elongated core first end, the open shaft parallel to the elongated core longitudinal axis;
• a longitudinal load-transfer member,
• the longitudinal load-transfer member being incompressible,
• the longitudinal load-transfer member having a longitudinal load-transfer member axis,
• the elongated core longitudinal axis and the longitudinal load-transfer member axis being parallel,
• the longitudinal load-transfer member positioned at least partly into the open shaft,
• the longitudinal load-transfer member protruding from the elongated core
• wherein the expansion joint system further comprises:
• an elongated beveled surface adjacent the elongated core bottom and the elongated core first side, and the elongated core lateral width is greater than the elongated core bottom width, and
• a second open shaft provided into the elongated core from an elongated core first end, the second open shaft parallel to the elongated core longitudinal axis and a third open shaft provided into the elongated core from an elongated core first end, the third open shaft parallel to the elongated core longitudinal axis.
