A shaped, water-expandable water-sealing article used for sealing an area between a first section of at least partially cured concrete and a second, adjacent section of substantially uncured concrete. The clay water sealing article is in the shape of a quadrilateral, preferably a trapezoid, and is disposed to bridge an area between the two sections of concrete. Upon hydration of the clay contained within the shaped water sealing article, expansion of the clay creates expansion forces extending from a corner of the article that is surrounded by the uncured concrete, wherein the corner has an included angle greater than 90°, preferably at least 100°. The expansion force developed by the expansion of the shaped water sealing article are absorbed by a substantially increased area of the uncured concrete as compared to expansion forces resulting from a clay-based water seal having a 90° included angle at the corner(s) surrounded by the uncured concrete.
Article hydraulique de forme déterminée servant à assurer l'étanchéité entre une partie d'ouvrage en béton au moins partiellement durcie et une partie contiguë non durcie. Cet objet, qui renferme de l'argile, a la forme d'un quadrilatère, de préférence d'un trapèze. L'hydratation de l'argile la fait gonfler, et l'expansion de l'argile crée une pression qui s'exerce à partir d'un des angles de l'article en contact avec la partie non durcie de l'ouvrage, lequel angle est supérieur à 90o, de préférence de 100o ou plus. Avec un angle supérieur à 90o, la pression créée par l'expansion de l'argile agit sur une surface sensiblement plus grande de la partie non durcie de l'ouvrage.
