Types of movement All buildings are subjected to forces which cause them to move. Since the materials of a building do not have sufficient strength to absorb these movements, the building is divided into smaller independent structures. This limits the stress on any one part of the building. It is this movement that expansion Joints […]

Understanding the type of traffic that a building will experience is important when it comes to specifying a joint system The nature of traffic moving over expansion joints can have a significant effect upon their longevity; a joint designed for use in a pedestrian area with low traffic frequency will not survive in a warehouse […]
The number of times that a load travels across a jointing system can have significant impact upon the life expectancy of the product. Traffic Frequency Traffic Frequency relates to the maximum number of passes that a load makes across a given joint system per day and has been broken down into 8 groups: TF1 ≤ […]
Movement can arise from thermal expansion and contraction, wind loading, drying shrinkage, creep, settlement, column foreshortening and seismic events. Building Movement Solutions The products and advice presented within this handbook aim to help designers of buildings to make provision for the deflections that the structure will experience over its service life. Movement can arise from […]
