Watertight seal between two concrete elements

摘要

A watertight seal (1) between two adjoining channel-shaped concrete elements (2) has an elastic sealing strip (3) sandwiched between a socket (5) of one concrete element (2) enveloped by the socket (5). The sealing strip (3) is recessed and has a transverse profile such, that when the socket is slid over the wedge (7), material (12) of the sealing strip (3) shifts in a direction contrary to movement of the socket in order to prevent damage of the sealing strip.
