Expansion Joints Australia from Unison Joints

Expansion Joint - The Australian Way by Unison Joints

The expansion joint or movement joint system is a mid-structure assembly designed to provide an architectural and/or trafficable bridge across movement gaps; allow for movement without becoming an obstacle or trip hazard; protect edges of adjacent finishes; water seal and/or fireseal the gap.

Building movements are caused by the following:

Thermal-induced expansion and contraction of building
Swaying movement caused by the wind
Seismic movement or earthquake
Shrinkage or settlement of the structural element

Expansion joints are frequently found in between the sections of buildings, bridges, footpaths, railway tracks, piping systems, ships and other structures.

Expansion joints are an important consideration in the building and construction industry since all buildings are subject to thermal changes. Small cumulative changes in the overall building structure can lead to a significant compromise in the integrity of a building structure.
