Simply defined, a bridge deck is the portion of a bridge that acts as the roadway in the support of vehicular or pedestrian traffic While deck parts like trusses, girders, rails, arches, posts and cantilevers assume a number of forms and types, there are relatively few bridge deck types given the utilitarian nature of the component.
Approved Header Type Expansion Joint Systems Select a header joint material that meets the requirements of DMS-6140: Polymer Concrete for Bridge Joint Systems; Select a class 7 joint sealant or one specified on the plans that meet the requirements of DMS-6310: Joint Sealers; Insure joint sealers are compatible with header materials.
The omission of the expansion joint removes a pathway for the penetration of chloride-bearing road salts to the bridge's sub-structure In the United Kingdom there is a presumption that most new short to medium length bridges will be of the integral type [citation needed] An early example of an integral bridge is masonry arch bridge.

Expansion Joint Specialist and the Bridge Design Engineer for recommendations and approval B Steel Bridges Use L-type abutments with expansion joints at the ends for multiple-span bridg Semi-integral construction may be used in lieu of expansion joints for single span bridges under 300 feet with the approval of the Bridge Design Engineer.
Aug 09, 2019· RJW Finger Joints are a simplistic design with no moving parts that are designed to accommodate any bridge deck expansion joint movement Finger Joints are cantilevered or simply supported steel tooth expansion joints They are comprised of pairs of independent elements with parallel teeth provided in lengths from 3 feet to full roadway widths.
The Expansion Joint on a bridge often proves to be the most problematic area for both contractors and designers Allowing for movement whilst keeping the joint dry is of primary importance on any bridge Fowler & Holden manufacture a range of products that enable the designer or contractor to cross an existing or new expansion joint.
Bridge-deck performance is improved by eliminating joints Separating the bridge deck from the substructure at the abutment locations reduces the tensile forces that could otherwise be generated in the bridge deck during deck contraction as a result of traffic and thermal loads 443 Strategies to mitigate natural or man-made Environment.
