listen to the pronunciation of expansion joint
English - English
A structural separation between two building elements that allows free movement between the elements without damage to the system
A joint between two adjoining materials arranged to permit expansion and contraction with changes in temperature and humidity
A weather-tight joint across the width of the building allowing for expansion and contraction
a joint used to compensate for or isolate structural movement
a joint designed to provide means for expansion and contraction movements produced by temperature changes, loadings or other forces
A separation between adjoining parts of a concrete or steel structure which is provided to allow small relative movements, such as those caused by temperature changes, to occur independently
A bituminous fiber strip that is inserted between concrete blocks, bricks or concrete paving to prevent cracking due the expansion caused by temperature changes
A joint that allows for expansion and contraction during temperature changes
A control joint in the concrete designed to allow for concrete movement
a structural seperation between two building elements that allows free movement between the elements without damage to the waterproofing system
