An expansion joint system, or “movement joint”, is a connection assembly that allows expansion and contraction between two structural sections to relieve stress on building materials. Movement between sections is primarily induced by thermal changes as well as wind, seismic activity, load deflection, settling, and various other causes.
The use and application of expansion joints are typically designed and specified by structural engineers and architects. Expansion joints can be integrated into interior and exterior floors, walls, ceilings, and roofs and are used in just about every type of facility including parking garages, healthcare facilities, airports, educational buildings, sports and entertainment facilities, and various other applications. They must be ADA-compliant, fire-rated, and aesthetically pleasing. In open-air structures like parking garages and stadiums, expansion joints must provide waterproofing while meeting other rigorous demands.
