Building and engineering Bridges are subjected to movements and rotation caused by traffic, temperature changes, earthquakes, shrinkage, prestressing, creep, etc. Bridge construction requires carefully designed and manufactured bearings, antiseismic devices, shock absorbers and expansion joints to ensure that such forces are properly dealt with throughout the life of the structure. Agom has over 40 years experience in the design and manufacture of bridge bearings, bridge expansion joints, anti-seismic devices and shock absorbers for the bridge-building and construction industry. All products...

Bridge Deck Movements The Temperature expansion and contraction Shortening of concrete due to creep effect Elastic shortening Movements due to induced external loads (e.g. earthquake, wind, vehicular braking etc.) Temperature Temperature variations cause both expansion and shortening of the bridge deck and are usually computed as a plus and minus range about a mean structure temperature which occurs when the superstructure is placed on the bearings. Temperature differentials also occur in the deck from top to bottom and from one side to other side of the deck. Temperature differentials through...

Bridge EXPANSION JOINTS AGWJ-series expansion joints AGOM’s AGWJ expansion joints are designed to enable displacements of up to 70mm with respect to the bridge decks they are fastened to. Entirely waterproof, they are secured to the structure with suitable anchor bolts. The deformable rubber elements are vulcanised with two rolled steel reinforcements with a U cross-section (standard EN 10025). AGWJ joints also allow displacement of the structure’s parts relative to each other in any direction. Advantages AGWJ-series expansion joints: WATERPROOF: AGWJ joints are entirely waterproof. EASE OF ASSEMBLY:...

Highway expansion joints AGOM’s HIGHWAY AGFLEXJ expansion joints are designed to enable displacements of up to 330 mm with respect to the bridge decks they are fastened to. Entirely waterproof, they are secured to the structure with suitable anchor bolts. The deformable rubber elements are vulcanised with rolled steel reinforcements made up of two angular plates and a bridge plate (standard EN 10025). AGFLEXJ joints also allow displacement of the structure’s parts relative to each other in any direction. Advantages AGFLEXJ-series expansion joints WATERPROOF: AGFLEXJ joints are entirely waterproof....

AGFJ finger-type joints are made of two separate elements (male and female) with a rolled steel construction (standard EN 10025) entirely covered with vulcanised rubber, which are secured to the structure with suitable anchor bolts. Surface water is easily...

Technical Specifications: AGFJ-series expansion joints Model AGFJ 50 AGFJ 125 AGFJ 150 AGFJ 200 AGFJ 250 COMPREHENSIVE LABELLING: All elastomeric expansion joints are provided with a nonfading mark directly moulded on the rubber outlining the properties of the joint - international standards - order number - date of manufacture Quality of materials All the expansion joints are manufactured using only first class rubber (natural or synthetic) in accordance with the main international standards. Agom can manufacture also expansion joints with dielectric rubber.

Expansion joints installation instructions: We recommended the following installation for our expansion joints: • Cutting of paving, demolition and cleaning of slab. Installation of drainage pipe levelling epoxy resin. After a thorough finishing, where required laying of rubber flashing. Laying of the expansion joints. Drilling and installation of chemical anchor bolts. Locking with dynamometric key, transition strips pouring and finishing. ANCHOR BOLT: JOINT JOINT SIZE For more details, please refer to the Agom expansion joints installation instruction.
