Curb Construction Joint Cutting
Joint locations should be spaced with consideration for places that will affect curb movement as previously discussed, such as sharp curves and interruptions for inlets. Sawing is the preferred way to cut joints because it is difficult to tool joints to adequate depths in thick sections. However, joints have been impressed into curbs with tee-bars shaped to conform to the curbs' cross-sections. Sawing should be done as soon as possible without spalling the edges of the saw cuts. Forms must be removed in order to saw joints properly. Removal of the forms means that the front and rear surfaces of the curbs must be protected against drying as well as the saw cuts.
