Product Description
What is Expansion Joint Cover (EJC) ?
An expansion joint or expansion joint cover is an opening within a structure, at predetermined locations, designed to absorb movement of the structure.
Movement may be defined as follows:
1. Thermal-casued by temperture changes within the structure.Thermal movement is horizontal.
2. Seismic-caused by earthquake activity beneath the structure. Seismic movement may be horizontal,vertical or shear, or a combination of all three.
3. Windload induced-caused by high winds forcing the structure to sway. Windload induced movement is normally horizontal or shear.
