Conception et étanchéité des joints de dilatation dans la construction
Building structures continuously move from thermal expansion and contraction, seismic forces, wind loading, settlement, and creep – movements that generate internal stresses capable of cracking concrete, buckling cladding, and failing building envelope systems. Expansion joints strategically placed throughout structures accommodate these movements, preventing damage by creating intentional separations that allow adjacent building elements to move […]
