Asphalt Plug Joints: Characterization and Specifications
Asphalt plug joints (APJs) are flexible asphalt segments that spawn between the bridge deck and abutment, serving as the expansion joint. As an expansion joint an APJ not only is required to allow bridge movement caused by expansion and contraction while providing a smooth transition between the approach pavement and the bridge deck, but it also must remain watertight and keep debris from entering the gap between the bridge deck and the abutment. The University of Wyoming is developing design guidelines for asphalt plug joint use and application under the sponsorship and guidance of the Wyoming and Colorado Departments of Transportation. As a first step in this research a survey of 50 state departments of transportation was conducted to assess use, perceptions, and installation guidelines. Fifty states responded. The survey results are presented and the trends are summarized.
