An expansion joint is designed to allow deflection in the axial (compressive), lateral (shear), or angular (bending) deflections. Expansion joints can be non-metallic or metallic (often called bellows type). Non-metallic can be a single ply of rubberized material or a composite made of multiple layers of heat and erosion resistant flexible ...
Pin and hanger assembly. A pin and hanger assembly is used to connect two plate girders of a bridge.These assemblies are used to provide an expansion joint in the bridge. One beam (the anchor span) is set on a pier with a short section cantilevered out toward the next pier.

The omission of the expansion joint removes a pathway for the penetration of chloride-bearing road salts to the bridge's sub-structure. In the United Kingdom there is a presumption that most new short to medium length bridges will be of the integral type. [citation needed] An early example of an integral bridge is masonry arch bridge.
The DMRB is used to design trunk roads such as the A20 in the UK. The Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) is a series of 15 volumes that provide standards, advice notes and other documents relating to the design, assessment and operation of trunk roads, including motorways in the United Kingdom, and, with some amendments, the Republic of Ireland.
1. Collection of available data about bridge construction, accessing existing archives; 2. Visual inspection reports about structure geometry and bridge elements conditions; 3. Risk classification of the structure in one of the five attention classes, i.e., low, medium-low, medium, medium-high, and high; 4.
Slip joints are common under conditions where temperature changes can cause expansion and contraction that may overstress a structure. These are generally referred to as expansion joints . Bridges and overpasses frequently have sliding joints that allow a deck to move relative to piers or abutments.
Application of Rubber Bridge Expansion Joints: Modular Bridge Expansion Joint is used in Highway bridge decks, Service ramps, Multi- storey car parks and so on. Modular Bridge Expansion Joint is used to prevent buildings or bridges appear some cracks because of climate change. Construction programs of Rubber Bridge Expansion Joints: (1) Set out ...
