Strip Seal Expansion Joints

Strip seal elastromeric joint (Movement up to 80mm). Strip seal expansion joint consist of two edge beams with anchorages and with elastomeric sealing element held firmly in the housing of edge beams that guarantee the water tightness the joint. The maximum gap between the edge beams at the road surface when the joint fully opens due to maximum contractions of the deck shall be limited to 80mm for comfortable passage of traffic. The edge beams protects the adjacent bridge deck concrete from damage due to vehicular impact and also transfer the vehicular loads to the deck structures through robust anchorage system. Typical single strip seal joint is shown in the figure below.More susceptible to vandalism Contact pressure of seal with steel noising which is the key for effective sealing mechanism decay considerably with age. Hence more safeguards are required during installation for ensuring desired level of compression in the seal.
