Expansion Joints

When buildings are connected there will be different settlement rates. There may be building sway, rotational movements, expansion and contraction.

What is an expansion joint?

An expansion joint is an opening within a structure, at a predetermined location, to absorb movement of the structure.
The joint allows for small movements which can be caused by high winds forcing the structure to sway.
Expansion joints prevent cracking / fracture at certain weak points of a building.
