Strip Seal Expansion Joint Specification

Deesawala Rubber Industries, a trusted name in construction supplies, delves into the world of strip seal expansion joints. These crucial components ensure the longevity and safety of bridges and structures by accommodating movement due to thermal expansion and contraction

Understanding Strip Seal Expansion Joints

A strip seal expansion joint consists of an elastomeric seal mechanically locked between two steel edge members. This design offers superior watertight sealing while withstanding heavy vehicular traffic. Deesawala’s strip seal joints cater to a wide range of movements, ensuring smooth functionality in various applications.

Specifying the Right Strip Seal Expansion Joint

Selecting the appropriate strip seal expansion joint requires careful consideration of several factors. Here’s a breakdown of the key specifications to keep in mind:

• Movement Capacity: The joint should accommodate the anticipated movement of the structure. Deesawala offers joints with movement capacities ranging up to +/- 40 mm, ensuring optimal performance.
• Joint Width and Depth: These dimensions are crucial for proper load transfer and stress distribution. Deesawala caters to a variety of joint width and depth configurations to suit specific project requirements. Common configurations include widths ranging from 65 mm to 75 mm and depths up to 100 mm.
• Material Properties: The elastomeric seal and steel edge members should possess the necessary strength, durability, and weather resistance. Deesawala likely utilizes high-quality elastomers like EPDM or Neoprene for their seals, known for their excellent resistance to aging, ozone, and UV radiation. Steel components are likely galvanized or otherwise treated for corrosion resistance.
• Temperature Range: The joint should function effectively within the expected temperature variations at the project site. Deesawala’s joints can likely withstand a wide temperature range, ensuring year-round performance.
