Mat Expansion Joint
Design Principle
IEC's mat expansion joints are engineered using high-performance rubber elastomers reinforced with metallic components. The rubber provides flexibility and resilience, allowing the joint to absorb deformations up to 200mm. Meanwhile, the embedded steel reinforcements are designed to withstand significant vertical loads, ensuring structural stability and load-bearing capacity. Each mat joint is manufactured in 1-meter sections, facilitating easier future replacement and maintenance without extensive disruption to the bridge structure. This modular design offers practical benefits, including reduced installation time and enhanced durability in high-traffic areas.
Suitable Applications
Quality&Features
Mat expansion joints are made from high-performance rubber elastomers reinforced with steel to provide flexibility and strength, with embedded steel reinforcements to handle heavy loads in high-traffic areas. They include a bridging plate for smooth transitions and an anchorage system of steel plates and loops, secured to the bridge deck’s rebar, ensuring stability under varying traffic and environmental conditions.
