Gives in-depth analysis of this critical aspect of concrete construction. With bearings and joint sealants often being neglected in the design of highways, buildings, and bridges, this two volume set will explore new areas of this technology. Subjects covered include: behavior of masonry bearing plates in highway bridges; selection criteria for bridge bearings; the principle of elasticity for joints; pot bearing rotation & minimum load; elastomeric concrete expansion joint transition solutions, and current design requirements and considerations for fire safety of effectively sealed expansion joints in buildings and other structures. Volume 2 also provides reports on: silicone sealants and their use in airfield applications; testing of waterproofing joints for bolted circular segmented linings.
