An expansion joint is a mid-structure separation designed to securely hold parts together while safely absorbing vibration (Stress), temperature-induced expansion, and contraction of building materials, or to permit movement due to ground settlement or seismic activity.
Due to warming and cooling caused by seasonal variations or other heat sources, building faces, concrete slabs, and pipelines expand and contract. These structures would crack under stress-induced conditions until no expansion joints were present. Expansion joints are created to fill the space and resume building assembly activities while accommodating anticipated movements.
Building cracks may form if there is any movement in a structure without an expansion joint and having a length of more than 45 meters (IS 456).
The main factors that cause movement in buildings at expansion joints include:
-
1
Thermal expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes
-
2
Sway caused by wind
-
3
Seismic events
-
4
Static load deflection
-
5
Live load deflection
