Aluminium body structural expansion joint with synthetic rubber insert.
Designed to bear structural movements of large sized buildings or
compounds of buildings. To be installed on pre-existing surfaces, also
vertically, over the spaces existing between two semi-detached parts of a
building of smaller entity or between different beam bays. They can connect
and close these inter-spaces adjusting themselves up-wards, downwards
and even transversely, according to the shrinkage-settlement movements
of the whole building, either cyclic or permanent.
Within the bay frame created with the structural joints, a further surface
subdivision with a suitable pattern of movement / expansion joints should
be always provided for.
