Joint Sealing & Bearing Systems for Concrete Structures
Also Known As:
The ACI SP-94:1987 standard is a comprehensive guide that delves deeply into the critical aspects of joint sealing and bearing systems in concrete construction. It highlights the importance of properly designed bearings and joint sealants, which are often overlooked in the construction of highways, buildings, and bridges.
This two-volume set provides an extensive range of information on various topics related to joint sealing and bearing systems. Volume 1 covers areas such as the behavior of masonry bearing plates in highway bridges, criteria for selecting bridge bearings, the elastic principle applied to expansion joints, rotation and minimum load considerations for pot bearings, and solutions for transitioning elastomeric concrete expansion joints. It also addresses the current design requirements and fire safety considerations for effectively sealed expansion joints in buildings and other structures.
Volume 2 of the standard focuses on silicone sealants and their applications in airfield settings, testing waterproofing joints for bolted circular segmented linings, and other relevant topics.
