(Specification)Standard Specification for Joints for Concrete Box, Using Rubber Gaskets
Standard Specification for Joints for Concrete Box, Using Rubber Gaskets
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers flexible joints for concrete box sections, using rubber gaskets for leak resistant joints. The specification covers the design of joints and the requirements for rubber gaskets to be used therewith, for boxes conforming in all other respects to Specification C1433 or C1577, provided that if there is conflict in permissible variations in dimensions the requirements of this specification for joints shall govern.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
