Design of Expansion Joint For PSC Continuous Type Superstructure

This document discusses the design of expansion joints for a continuous type superstructure bridge. It determines that at the end expansion joint on an abutment, a 40mm Elastomeric Strip Seal expansion joint with 15mm of preset compression is needed to accommodate 13.3mm of longitudinal movement. At the intermediate expansion joint over a pier, an 80mm Modular Strip Seal expansion joint with 30mm of preset compression is specified to allow for twice the movement, or 30.1mm, at this location.
