Abstract
An elastomeric strand-shaped sealing profile including at least one continuous transverse beam located in a region between the base and rear side surfaces of the profile and having two sidewise projecting cantilever arms, two sealing lips provided on the respective lateral side surfaces of the profile adjacent to the regions of the corners between the base surface and the respective lateral side surfaces and extending sidewise of the base body, two webs extending from corners formed by the rear side surface and respective lateral side surface and toward each other, and forming, together with a rear side surface-forming web, a triangular structure, and a further web extending from a tip of the triangular structure and toward the base surface and forming with the two webs a Y-shaped structure.
Claims19
An elastomeric, strand-shaped sealing profile for a tunnel segment having a receiving groove, the sealing profile comprising:
- a base surface, a rear side surface having a width smaller than a width of the base surface, and two opposite lateral side surfaces connecting the base surface with the rear side surface, the base, rear side, and lateral side surfaces defining together a base body;
- at least one continuous transverse beam located in a region between the base surface and the rear side surface and projecting beyond a base body at the opposite lateral side surfaces, with projecting portions forming two projecting cantilever arms for engaging respective adjacent side surfaces of the receiving groove of the tunnel segment;
- two sealing lips provided on the base body on respective lateral side surfaces adjacent to regions of corners between the base surface and the respective lateral side surfaces, extending sidewise of the base body and continuously extending in a longitudinal direction of the sealing profile, and formed of a water-swellable material;
- and
- two webs extending from corners formed by the rear side surface and respective lateral side surfaces and toward each other, and forming, together with a rear side surface-forming web, a triangular structure, and a further web extending from a tip of the triangular structure and toward the base surface, the two webs and the further web forming together a Y-shaped structure.
