Joint Sealing and Bearing Systems for Concrete Structures
Also Known As:
ACI SP-70:1981 is a standard that focuses on joint sealing and bearing systems for concrete structures. The standard covers various topics, including movements and forces, bearings, joints, materials, architectural applications, seismic considerations, pavements, and research and development. The standard provides information on new developments and case studies related to joint sealing and bearing systems.
The standard includes a table of contents that lists the different topics covered. Some of the specific topics covered include bridge joints in seismic areas, optimization of joint-slab-sealant systems, use of high-performance joint sealants in airfield and road pavements, sealing of airfield and highway pavements using preformed extruded compression joint seals, and measurement of deflection and slab rocking in concrete pavement joints.
Other topics covered include the development of different bearing systems, such as shear-restricted disc bearings and elastomeric bearings, as well as the distribution of stress under pot bearings and the performance criteria of building sealants. The standard also covers the design and specification of bridge expansion joints, as well as the sealing of joints in tunnels and the waterproofing of structural concrete decks.
