BITUMINOUS FIBER EXPANSION JOINT FILLER. CUT TO THE CONFIGURATION OF THE FULL
SIZE OF THE CURB AND GUTTER SECTION AND BEING SECURED SO THAT THEY ARE NOT
MOVED BY DEPOSITING AND COMPACTING THE CONCRETE AT THESE JOINTS. THE EDGES OF
THESE JOINTS SHALL BE ROUNDED WITH AN EDGING TOOL ONE-EIGHTH INCH RADIUS.
2. EXPANSION JOINTS SHALL BE PLACED WHERE CURB AND GUTTER ABUTS OTHER
STRUCTURES AND AT ALL TANGENT POINTS TO CURBS. EXPANSION JOINTS SHALL NOT BE
SPACED MORE THAN 50 FEET APART ON STRAIGHT RUNS FOR HAND LAID CURB AND
GUTTER AND NOT MORE THAN 100 FEET APART FOR MACHINE LAID CURB AND GUTTER
PROVIDED 1/2 INCH THICK BITUMINOUS FIBER EXPANSION JOINT FILLER IS USED. ALL
JOINTS SHALL BE FORMED AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE ALIGNMENT OF THE CURB AND
GUTTER.
3. CONTRACTION JOINTS SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED BY SA WING THROUGH THE CURB AND
GUTTER TO A DEPTH OF NOT LESS THAN ONE AND ONE-FOURTH INCH BELOW THE
SURFACE AND TO A WIDTH NOT TO EXCEED THREE-EIGHTS INCH OR THEY MAY BE
FORMED BY INSERTING A REMOVABLE METAL TEMPLATE IN THE FRESH CONCRETE, OR BY
OTHER METHODS APPROVED BY THE ENGINEER. SEALING OF JOINTS IS NOT REQUIRED.
