Definition of expansion joints in English English dictionary

expansion joint
A structural separation between two building elements that allows free movement between the elements without damage to the system
expansion joint
A joint between two adjoining materials arranged to permit expansion and contraction with changes in temperature and humidity
expansion joint
A weather-tight joint across the width of the building allowing for expansion and contraction
expansion joint
a joint used to compensate for or isolate structural movement
expansion joint
a joint designed to provide means for expansion and contraction movements produced by temperature changes, loadings or other forces
expansion joint
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
expansion joint
A bituminous fiber strip that is inserted between concrete blocks, bricks or concrete paving to prevent cracking due the expansion caused by temperature changes
expansion joint

expansion joint
A control joint in the concrete designed to allow for concrete movement
expansion joint
a structural seperation between two building elements that allows free movement between the elements without damage to the waterproofing system
expansion joint
Area of a fire-rated component designed and punched to provide thermal expansion relief for that component Due to expansion of steel when heated, this expansion control is necessary to keep the fire membrane intact
expansion joint
a structural separation between two building elements that allows free movements between the elements without damage to the roofing or waterproofing system
expansion joint
a structural separation between two building elements that allows free movement between the elements without damage to the roofing or waterproofing system
expansion joint
A term applied to a joint which permits linear movement to take up the expansion and contraction due to changes in temperature
expansion joint
A joint designed to provide for expansion and contraction movements produced by temperature changes, loadings or other forces (5)
expansion joint
a joint designed to provide a means for expansion and contraction that is caused by temperature changes, loadings, and so forth
expansion joint
A built-in separation between building sections to allow for free movement between the sections without damaging the buildings structural components
expansion joint
A break in construction or a special design detail to allow for thermal expansion and contraction of the materials of a structure
expansion joint
A bituminous fiber strip used to separate blocks or units of concrete to prevent cracking due to expansion as a result of temperature changes Also used on concrete slabs
expansion joint
A joint designed to provide means for expansion and contraction movements produced by temperature changes, loadings, or other means
expansion joint
A flexible portion of a piping system or building structure that allows for expansion of the materials due to temperature change
expansion joint
A break or space in construction to allow for thermal expansion and contraction of the materials used in the structure
expansion joint
A bituminous fiber strip used to separate blocks or units of concrete to prevent cracking due to thermal expansion
expansion joint
A material placed within or a scoring of concrete that allows it to expand without cracking
expansion joint
A device used to permit a structure to expand or contract without breakage In residential construction, a bituminous fiber strip used to separate blocks or units of concrete to prevent cracking due to expansion as a result of temperature changes Also used on concrete slabs
expansion joint
A small space separated sections of track to allow expansion or contraction because of temperature changes
