EXPANSION JOINT / STRIP SEAL
BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT
The expansion joints are normally located between sections of bridges, paving slabs, railway tracks, and piping systems. The expansion joints are incorporated to endure the stresses. An expansion joint is simply a disconnection between segments of the same materials
Designed to span gaps between structural elements, expansion joints are necessary to absorb movement, accommodate shrinkage and creep effects, deformation under vehicle load and changes in temperature on concrete, steel or composite structures, particularly on bridge decks and traffic areas of buildings.
Applications: bridges, footbridges, railway bridges, buildings
