Steelflex® Modular Expansion Joint Systems

System Components

Steelflex® Modular Expansion Joint Systems are highly engineered
assemblies which consist of Steelflex® centerbeams and edge
beams. The centerbeams and edge beams not only carry the
dynamic wheel loads but also accept the series of strip seal style
sealing elements that create a watertight joint. All Steelflex®
Modular Expansion Joint Systems are designed to accommodate up
to 80mm of movement per neoprene sealing element and, thus, the
joint designation is presented in multiples of 80mm (i.e. D-160,
D-240, etc.).

Each Steelflex® centerbeam is rigidly supported by its own support
bar using a full-penetration welded connection. Support bars span
the joint opening and are arranged below the centerbeams in a
direction parallel to the structural movement. Stainless steel slide
plates are attached to each end of the support bars (both top and
bottom surfaces) to provide a low coefficient-of-friction surface.
Movements up to ±0.79 inches (20mm) transverse to the support
bars (for D-320 joint assemblies and larger) can be accommodated
by a Steelflex® Modular Expansion Joint System. For large
longitudinal movements and transverse movements beyond the
allowable limits, the Maurer System™ Swivel Expansion Joint
Assembly by The D.S. Brown Company should be considered
(see page 7).

Elastomeric springs and bearings containing a PTFE sliding
surface are utilized to accommodate all longitudinal, transverse,
and rotational movements. The precompressed springs and slide
bearings are located directly above and below the support bar,
respectively. The precompressed spring is designed to have a
specific compression force on the support bar which, in turn,
produces a downward force on the slide bearing. This arrangement
allows the spring and bearing to work together and resist uplift of
the support bar as vehicular loads travel across the assembly.

Closed-cell polyurethane control springs are installed in all
Steelflex® Modular Expansion Joint systems to provide equidistant
spacing between centerbeams throughout the joint system’s
complete movement range. The control spring orientation is
such that the maximum compressive force is generated on the
centerbeams when the modular expansion joint assembly is at its
maximum opening.

Watertight Integrity

In the past, unsealed fabricated steel
joint systems have been specified
on structures with large movements.
Unfortunately, these older joint system
solutions have not been effective in
preventing water and debris from
passing through the deck joint to
the underlying superstructure. This
accumulation of water and debris
corrodes steel components, deteriorates
concrete and results in unnecessary
rehabilitation costs. Even when these
unsealed, fabricated joint systems utilize a
trough to collect drainage, in most
cases problems develop as they become
filled with debris.

Cableguard™ Elastomeric Wrap System

Due to the premature failure of
corrosion protection systems on cable-
supported structures, D.S. Brown began
development of its patented
Cableguard™ Elastomeric Wrap System
in the early 1990s. This alternative
corrosion protection system, developed
exclusively for bridge cables, is
applicable during construction or
rehabilitation of cable-stayed and
suspension bridges.

The Cableguard™ wrap is based on
cross-linking a chlorosulfonated
polyethylene polymer that is manufac-
tured into a 45 mil (1.14mm) thick,
three-ply (polymer-fabric reinforce-
ment-polymer) laminated construction.

Several Cableguard™ Elastomeric Wrap
features are highlighted as follows:

  • 4. Steelflex® Modular Expansion Joint Systems System Components Steelflex® Modular Expansion Joint Systems are highly engineered assemblies which consist of Steelflex® centerbeams and edge beams. The centerbeams and edge beams not only carry the dynamic wheel loads but also accept the series of strip seal style sealing elements that create a watertight joint. All Steelflex® Modular Expansion Joint Systems are designed to accommodate up to 80mm of movement per neoprene sealing element and, thus, the joint designation is presented in multiples of 80mm (i.e. D-160, D-240, etc.). Each Steelflex® centerbeam is rigidly supported by its own support bar using a full-penetration welded connection. Support bars span the joint opening and are arranged below the centerbeams in a direction parallel to the structural movement. Stainless steel slide plates are attached to each end of the support bars (both top and bottom surfaces) to provide a low coefficient-of-friction surface. Movements up to ±0.79 inches (20mm) transverse to the support bars (for D-320 joint assemblies and larger) can be accommodated by a Steelflex® Modular Expansion Joint System. For large longitudinal movements and transverse movements beyond the allowable limits, the Maurer System™ Swivel Expansion Joint Assembly by The D.S. Brown Company should be considered (see page 7). Elastomeric springs and bearings containing a PTFE sliding surface are utilized to accommodate all longitudinal, transverse, and rotational movements. The precompressed springs and slide bearings are located directly above and below the support bar, respectively. The precompressed spring is designed to have a specific compression force on the support bar which, in turn, produces a downward force on the slide bearing. This arrangement allows the spring and bearing to work together and resist uplift of the support bar as vehicular loads travel across the assembly. Closed-cell polyurethane control springs are installed in all Steelflex® Modular Expansion Joint systems to provide equidistant spacing between centerbeams throughout the joint system’s complete movement range. The control spring orientation is such that the maximum compressive force is generated on the centerbeams when the modular expansion joint assembly is at its maximum opening. 4

Watertight Integrity In the past, unsealed fabricated steel joint systems have been specified on structures with large movements. Unfortunately, these older joint system solutions have not been effective in preventing water and debris from passing through the deck joint to the underlying superstructure. This accumulation of water and debris corrodes steel components, deteriorates concrete and results in unnecessary rehabilitation costs. Even when these unsealed, fabricated joint systems utilize a trough to collect drainage, in most cases problems develop as they become filled with debris.

These joint systems are also convenient to install on bridge rehabilitation projects requiring a shallow joint depth and/or staged construction. In addition to fabricated steel plate expansion joint systems, D.S. Brown also supplies the following fabricated steel products: • Steel Diaphragms • Pin and Link Assemblies • Bridge Railings • Other Custom Steel Fabrications Finger Joint Assembly. Cableguard™ Elastomeric Wrap System Due to the premature failure of corrosion protection systems on cable- supported structures, D.S. Brown began development of its patented Cableguard™ Elastomeric Wrap System in the early 1990s. This alternative corrosion protection system, developed exclusively for bridge cables, is applicable during construction or rehabilitation of cable-stayed and suspension bridges. The Cableguard™ wrap is based on cross-linking a chlorosulfonated polyethylene polymer that is manufac- tured into a 45 mil (1.14mm) thick, three-ply (polymer-fabric reinforce- ment-polymer) laminated construction. Several Cableguard™ Elastomeric Wrap features are highlighted as follows: Anthony Wayne Bridge, Toledo OH, USA. 13
