EXPANSION JOINTS TX-60 TX-50 TX-75 T-40 T-100 T-160 T-250 T-330 Hi Z 5 CETEC expansion joints have been technically designed to work as a single element, to be absolutely tight and long-lasting. They absorb horizontal, vertical and oblique movements, always remaining tight. The elastomeric material used by CETEC joints has been formulated so that its properties are not affected by iow temperatures keeping its capability of impact absorption also during winter. Besides, such material is prepared to resist wearing and abrasion and to increase resistance against bad weather conditions, chemical products and fire. ISO 9002 =e Ses ©4TX TYPE JOINTS The manufacture of these joints, with a highly resistant flexible mambrane made of two sheets of reinforcing textile vulcanised with the side blocks, provents heavy 9 stress to be transmitted to the anchor bolts, abutments ar the decks ofthe bridges, even with skew decks. d The membrane keeps its convex shape during the whole expansion cycle, being a self-cleaning joint. Its exclusive lap makes it a tight joint. mS, By TX-50 TX-75 sae WWW {| Ler TX-60 Type MOVEMENT_A__B_ cD Tse a0 FO et ee ee Toto Treo m7 CT EE TET T7e 72 Teo oe Oet ae ooo ToT aoe POO meres T TYPE JOINTS A allows the straining areas to be distributed so that a a f See 3 BE its upper face presents as few openings as possible, consequently improving trattic conditions. * and reducing its noise. These joints have been designed so that there © +c, appear no strains on the pavement surface, due to joint movement, thus permitting relative displacements between deck and abutment in transversal and longitudinal direction of the joint, the latter being a main characteristic for skew bridges. The joint are fixed to the structure by means of chemical anchorages and nuts tightened with dynamometric wrenches, so that horizontal stresses are transmitted through friction between elastomer ana concrete.

The grooves on the upper face of joints type T and TX provides a nonslip surface that makes water drainage easy and acts as a safety element. A steel reinforcement is vulcanised inside the modules, providing them with the appropriate stiffness and pre- vents them from bending. T-160 T-250 T-330 TYPE MOVEMENT AB Cg T1760 760.

TT ee Guided expansion joints have been designed to allow large transverse movements on the bridge in case of earthquake. With this joint, the energy of the earthquake can be disipated. Guided expansions joints are based in our standard ‘models with one row of anchors fixed to the transverse guides in such @ way that it can work as a standard axpansion joint in normal canditians and allows: large transverse movements under earthquake. PTFE is used to obtain low friction on the trafis- verse movement in order to minimize loads transferred to the deck of the bridae. This solution is more simple and cheaper than those based on metalic expansion joints Installation and economy takes benefit of this joint inallprojects where earthquake loads are involved.
