751.13.1 Expansion Devices

751.13.1.1 General

The number of movable deck joints in a structure should be minimized. Deck joints should be avoided over roadways, railroads, sidewalks, other public areas, and at the low point of sag vertical curves.

Consult the Structural Project Manager, if the use of special covering floor plates in shoulder areas should be considered.

If no expansion device is specified in the Design Layout, but due to the length of structure an expansion device is required, consult the Structural Project Manager for the type to be used. The roadway surface gap, W, (Except Flat and Finger Plates) in a transverse deck joint, measured in the direction of travel shall satisfy:

For single gaps:

1" ≤ W ≤ 4"
EXPANSION JOINT SELECTION
  Allowable Movement Allowable Skew
Silicone Expansion Joint Sealant 0 – 2” ≤ 20˚
Preformed Compression Joint Seal 0 – 2” ≤ 20˚
Strip Seals 2” to 4” ≤ 45˚
Flat Plate   > 45˚
Finger Plate  


Movement Calculation (in the direction of travel)

= Load factor for temperature movement

Coefficients, ()

Steel: Thermal - 0.0000065 ft/ft/F°
Concrete: Thermal - 0.0000060 ft/ft/F°

Temperature Range From 60°F, ()

Temperature Range is based on a design installation temperature of 60°F.

  Rise Fall Range
Steel Structures 60°F 90°F 150°F

(From -30° to 120°)

Concrete Structures 50°F 70°F 120°F

(From -10° to 110°)


Actual Expansion Length, (L)

When Expansion joints are used for long span structures with deep girders, movement calculations should also consider the bearings and possible resulting girder rotation.

751.13 Expansion Length Diagram.gif

Installation Width
The installation width, gap, should be adjusted for temperatures above or below the design installation temperature. Movement for a 10°F change in temperature should be indicated on the plans to the nearest 1/16” by using the appropriate note.


Movement for 10°F change in temperature = (α)(10°F)(L)(Cos θ)

For configurations not shown, a temperature force distribution analysis may be necessary to estimate the point of thermal origin.

751.13.1.4 Details of Substructure Protection

A protective coating shall be applied to concrete surfaces exposed to drainage from the roadway. Indicate surface to be coated on plans. Urethane resembles black tar which is used where aesthetics is not a concern, otherwise use epoxy.

751.13.2 Silicone Expansion Joint Sealant

751.13.2.1 General

Silicone Expansion Joint Sealant is an economical system and should be used for movements up to 2" with skews ≤20°.

This system is preferred by maintenance because it is easily replaced if necessary.

751.13.4 Strip Seal Expansion Joint System

751.13.4.1 General

Strip Seal Expansion Joint Systems should be used for movements greater than 2” and less than 4” for skews < 45°. Use flat plate expansion devices on curved structures and skews over 45°.

The installation width, gap = 2”, based on a design installation temperature of 60°F.

On skewed bridges, the strip seal expansion devices must be checked for parallel and perpendicular movements. Parallel movements (Racking) shall be less than 1 ½” for either rise or fall movements. Maximum skew shall be 45°.

Formulas: M = 1.2(ΔT)(α)(L) : Bridge total movement or individual rise and fall movements

ΔT = Corresponding temperature range
L = Expansion length
α = Coefficient of linear expansion

M = M cos θ : Movement perpendicular to joint
M = M sin θ : Movement parallel to joint

θ = skew angle

751.13.4.7 Drainage Details

In order for strip seal expansion joint systems to function properly, the gland shall be allowed to drain to prevent build-up of debris. Debris may punch holes in the gland and the extra load may possibly pull the gland from the extrusions.


To prevent debris buildup on the strip seals the gland should not be turned up at the barrier curb. Instead, the steel armor with extrusions should be extended to the face of the slab through the barrier curb.


Drainage shall be handled by one of two methods. The first method is to let the water run off the gland and free fall to the ground below. The gland should extend past the edge of slab 3 inches minimum. At intermediate bents, the bent cap should have a protective coating applied to prevent moisture saturation of the concrete. On structures where there is an adjacent structure separated by a median barrier curb with an open joint (Type D or Split Median) the gland should be terminated at some point under the curb at all bent types and protective coating should be applied at all faces exposed to moisture. The second method of drainage is to provide a fiberglass pipe drainage system to collect water at the bents.


See the Structural Project Manager for the method of drainage to be used. The following pages provide some possible details that may be used for strip seal expansion joint drainage systems.

If the fiberglass pipe drainage system is used, payment will be made under the pay item. Drainage System (On structure), Lump Sum.

751.13.5 Flat Plate Expansion Devices

751.13.5.1 General

Flat Plate Expansion Joint System should be used where Strip Seals and Preformed Compression Joints can not be used due to large expansion lengths or curved structures and skews over 45˚.


The installation width, gap = 3 1/2" is based on a design installation temperature of 60˚F.


Flat Plate expansion devices can be used on any skewed bridges.


The max. surface gap, W ≤ 4" does not effect flat plate expansion devices due to the fact there are no visible open joints.

751.13.6 Finger Plate Expansion Devices

751.13.6.1 General

The max. roadway surface gap (W) shall meet the following criteria:

When W(Long.) < 8", Then W(Tran.) < 3".

OR

When W(Long.) > 8", Then W(Tran.) < 2".


751.13 Finger Plate Expansion Joint- General.gif

The min. finger overlap = 1.5"


Expansion lengths are calculated from the total movement value by the following equation:


Expansion length =


Where:

For Concrete:

= 0.000006 ft/ft/˚F

= 120˚F

For Steel:

= 0.0000065 ft/ft/˚F

= 150˚F
