Abstract

The invention relates to a device ( 1 ) for bridging an expansion joint ( 2 ) in the region of a carriageway, comprising a superstructure ( 5 ) and a substructure ( 6 ), and the superstructure ( 5 ) comprises at least one elastic element ( 15 ) and the substructure ( 6 ) forms a support for the superstructure ( 5 ). At least one holding element ( 19, 20 ) is disposed in the superstructure ( 5 ), which is at least partially embedded in the elastic element ( 15 ).

Claims (15)

1. A device for bridging an expansion joint in the region of a carriageway, comprising a superstructure and a substructure forming a support for the superstructure, wherein the superstructure comprises at least one elastic element at least partially made from a castable synthetic resin or a castable plastic and at least one shear key provided on a bottom face of the at least one elastic element pointing towards the substructure and made integrally with the at least one elastic element, wherein at least one holding element is disposed in the superstructure which is at least partially embedded in the elastic element.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the holding element extends continuously across at least approximately the entire length of the superstructure.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one holding element has at least one recess into which the elastic element extends.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic element of the superstructure is at least partially made from a polyurethane or a polycarbamide or polyurea system.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic element has a layer thickness of at most 60 mm.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the substructure is made at least partially from at least one material from the group consisting of epoxy resins, polymer concrete, concrete, and steel.

7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one holding element is connected to the substructure via at least one bonding anchor.

8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one shear key extends continuously across at least approximately the entire length of the superstructure

9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one stabilizer element is disposed in the elastic element.

10. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one stabilizer element is disposed in at least one sleeve-shaped element.

11. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one stabilizer element is supported on the at least one holding element.

12. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one holding element is provided in the form of an angle section or angle sections.

13. The device according to claim 12 , wherein at least one stabilizer element extends between upwardly projecting arms of the angle sections.

14. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one stabilizer has a compression spring.

15. . The device according to claim 10 , wherein the at least one stabilizer element or the at least one sleeve-shaped element is at least partially surrounded by a spiral hose.
