Bridge Deck Expansion Joints (Special Experimental Features Program) (Experimental Project No. 5)
The ability of a bridge deck expansion joint to be smooth-riding, durable and waterproof is essential to the performance of the bridge superstructure. The study evaluated the characteristics and field performance of the modular expansion joint systems, the metal reinforced type elastomeric expansion dam systems and the gland type bridge expansion dam systems. Various models of these systems can provide movements up to 26 inches. The gland type or 'strip seals' usually do not provide movements above 4 inches. The study also included the standard systems that are the finger dams and armored and preformed neoprene compression seals.
