EXPANSION JOINT SEALS AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
An expansion joint seal includes a seal body and a plurality of seal caps, wherein the seal body is made of a material having a first hardness, and the seal caps are made of a material having a second hardness that is greater than the first hardness. The seal body includes a plurality of walls that form hollow cells. The seal body includes a plurality of traffic bearing surfaces that are separated from one another by grooves and are thereby discontinuous relative to one another. The hollow cells and the grooves allow the seal body to expand and contract as an expansion joint increases and decreases in size due to thermal and/or load variations. The seal caps cover the traffic bearing surfaces of the seal body, such that each of the traffic bearing surfaces of the seal body is covered by a separate one of the seal caps.
