Types of Expansion and Contraction Joints

The document outlines two types of joints: expansion joints and contraction joints. Expansion joints allow for the expansion and contraction of materials due to temperature changes, primarily used in bridges and railways, while contraction joints are designed to prevent cracking in concrete due to shrinkage. Each joint type has specific features, materials, and purposes related to load transfer and structural integrity.
