CIPEC expansion joints are designed to enable
continuous traffic between two structures, accommodating structural movements
due to creep, shrinkage effects, temperature variations and deformations
under live load. They are suitable for all reinforced concrete, prestressed
concrete, composite and steel structures, and particularly for bridge decks.
CIPEC expansion joints are also designed to allow sufficient vertical movement
so that bearings can be replaced without needing to disassemble the expansion
joint. They enable drainage of runoff water and they are designed to minimize
traffic noise.
