    摘要: A waterstop joint includes a sealing strip made of an elastomer or a rubber like material, two bulged portions, each bulged portion extending along a different one of said two peripheries of the sealing strip, two fixation strips, each fixation strip extending from a different one of said two bulged portions, and extending in the same plane as the sealing strip, and a multitude of injection tubes for injecting a curing liquid, such as epoxy resin. One outer end of each of said injection tubes is mounted to, or in the vicinity of, one of the steel strips. The outer end of each of the injection tubes is mounted to, or immediately adjacent to, one of said two bulged portions.
