Evercross Bridge
Professional Manufacturer of Single Group Bridge Expansion Joint Products
Introduction of Bridge expansion joints:
Bridgeexpansion joints GQF-C type, GQF-Z type, GQF-E type, GQF-F type, GQF-MZL type, are all designed with hot rolled integral shaped steel bridge expansion joint products. Among them, GQF-C, GQF-Z, GQF-L, GQF-F bridge expansion device is suitable for Bridges with expansion capacity below 80mm. GQF-MZL type bridge expansion device is a modular bridge expansion joint device composed of side beam, middle beam, cross beam and connecting mechanism, which is suitable for large and medium span Bridges with expansion capacity of 80mm-1200mm.
Common types of bridge expansion joints include:
- Finger joints
- Sliding plate joints
- Modular expansion joints
- Elastomeric expansion joints
- Compression seal joints
Bridge expansion joint: refers to the expansion joint between two beam ends, between beam ends and abutment, or on the hinge position of the bridge to meet the requirements of bridge deck deformation. In parallel and perpendicular to the bridge axis, firm and reliable, the vehicle should be smooth and outdated without jump and noise; and it can prevent rainwater and garbage soil from infiltration and blocking; the installation, inspection, maintenance and dirt elimination should be simple and convenient. At the expansion joint, the railing and the bridge deck pavement should be disconnected.
The selection of the appropriate expansion joint type depends on factors such as the bridge's size, expected movement, load requirements, and the local climate and environmental conditions.
Features of bridge expansion joints include:
Modularity and Adjustability:
Many expansion joint designs are modular,
allowing for easy installation, repair, and replacement of individual
components as needed.
Some joints may also incorporate adjustable
features to accommodate changes in the bridge structure or to fine-tune the
joint's performance over time.
Maintainability:
Expansion joints are designed with
accessibility and ease of maintenance in mind, facilitating regular
inspections, cleaning, and replacement of worn or damaged components.
This ensures the continued functionality
and safety of the bridge expansion joint system.
