  2. Expansion joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_joint

    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 ...

  3. Pin and hanger assembly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_and_hanger_assembly

    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.

  4. List of longest continuous truss bridge spans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_continuous...

    The Braga Bridge is a continuous truss bridge. It was the fourth longest span of this type when it was completed in 1966. This list of continuous bridge spans ranks the world's continuous truss bridges in two listings: The first is ranked by the length of main span (the longest length of unsupported roadway) and the second by the total length of continuous truss spans.

  5. Integral bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_bridge

    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.

Construction programs of Rubber Bridge Expansion Joints: (1) Set out and cut Modular Bridge Expansion Joint. (2) Excavate and clean the Modular Bridge Expansion Joint area. (3) Drill holes to locate the anchor bolts. (4) Place ...

  7. Metal expansion joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_expansion_joint

    They are differentiated according to the three basic types of movement: axial, angular and lateral expansion joints. Expansion joints have usage in various sectors, like energy production, paper industry, chemical industry, water treatment, oil and gas. Expansion joints can be used wherever thermal movements or vibration occurs in pipelines.

  8. Expansion Joint Manufacturers Association - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_Joint...

    The standards are a combination of a variety of expansion joint manufacturers' knowledge and experience. [2] [3] The EJMA organization performs extensive technical research on a variety of topics concerning the design and manufacturing of expansion joints. [4] This knowledge contributes to providing new versions of the EJMA book of standards.

  9. Continuous truss bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_truss_bridge

    A continuous truss bridge is a truss bridge that extends without hinges or joints across three or more supports. A continuous truss bridge may use less material than a series of simple trusses because a continuous truss distributes live loads across all the spans; in a series of simple trusses, each truss must be capable of supporting the ...
