ANALYSIS AND COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF EXPANSION JOINTS ON BRIDGE STRUCTURES: DESIGN FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES

Vladyslav Vynogradov

Bridges, as important infrastructure facilities, are constantly exposed to a variety of factors: loads, temperature fluctuations, mechanical deformations, and aggressive environmental influences. All these factors cause displacement of certain parts of the structure, which requires special elements to compensate for such deformations. One of these elements is expansion joints. Among the various types of expansion joints on bridges, crushed stone mastic joints occupy an important place due to their efficiency, durability and ability to adapt to various operating conditions
