Abstract
Protecting your bridge structures and their supporting elements is critical. Thermal movements and loading eventually cause joint failure. To prevent water and debris from entering these joints, they need to be sealed with an airtight, waterproof, flexible material. In this session we look at how to properly rehabilitate deteriorated bridge and terminal joints using an asphaltic plug joint system.
