Product Description

Expansion joints;

These joints are obtained by opposing two finger-shaped metal elements: each is fixed to its head, thus ensuring, thanks to a suitable interpenetration, continuity of the carriageway in case of expansion/shrinkage. Their static layout can act as a beam on two bearings when the finger rests on both heads or as a shelf when it overhangs a head. A specific device is needed, usually a gutter, to ensure the gap watertightness. Special attention should be paid to the alignment during the installation phase and to the head anchoring, especially in the case of shelf layout. Except for special arrangements, this type of joint permits limited transverse displacements. TIPOLOGIE: SFE 90/65 GP FE C
