Joint forms and associated techniques for repairing and sealing concrete expansion joints

A method for repairing and sealing concrete damage at an expansion joint in a concrete deck during a single repair event from closing a road section until reopening the road section, wherein the expansion joint comprises an elongated length direction, comprising:

• closing the road section comprising the concrete damage at the expansion joint in the concrete deck having a surface level;
• obtaining a joint form comprising a foam block lower portion bonded to an elastomeric seal upper portion, wherein the joint form has a width corresponding to a width of the expansion joint, a height corresponding to a height of the expansion joint, and a length of a desired repair greater than a length of the concrete damage;
• installing the joint form into the expansion joint spanning the concrete damage in the length direction from a first undamaged portion of the expansion joint on a first side of the concrete damage to a second undamaged portion of the expansion joint on a second side of the concrete damage;
• backfilling the concrete damage adjacent to the joint form with a concrete repair material up to or below the surface level;
• allowing the concrete repair material to cure and
• reopening the road section.
