Estimating the term…
The objective of this invention is to provide ease of application for steel armored joints used in industrial concrete floor construction. It provides one step simple installation. Eliminates thermal transfer in low temperature environment to a higher temperature environment through the concrete slab. Provides simple elevation adjustment. Provides a substrate for joint filler compression. Eliminates the need for wood forms and field welding that produces waste. Elevation adjustment and the ease thereof are achieved by vertical slots cut in the plastic upright. The neoprene bolts are to be tightened when the steel is at the desired elevation. Two part armored joints separate as the concrete contracts during the curing process. Then the joint filler product is applied.
1-9. (canceled)
The concrete armored joint form is comprised of a one step, set in place and leave in place concrete armored joint form that provides thermal transfer prevention along with a seating system which thereby captures the joint fill material. Furthermore, the concrete form is comprised of an adjustability of the steel armor joint to compensate for undulations in the grade or the insulated floor materials.
