Expansion Joint Field Problems  

Expansion joints are small, often overlooked details with lasting impacts. This course reviews the information needed to spot and prevent the most common oversights in system selection, detailing, and installation. Participants will explore how different expansion joint systems function, gaining the knowledge to design with movement in mind and anticipate issues before they occur. Together, we will review project case studies to demonstrate how to recognize potential pitfalls, make informed product choices, and create details that support lasting functionality and promote improved Trade coordination.
