Combination joints
Combination joints are employed to accommodate large movements.
These joints absorb any of the three movements i.e. axial movement,
lateral deflection and angular rotation. It is able to accommodate
thermal as well as seismic movements.

  
Seal Joints
Hercules Strip Seal Joints are robust, watertight joints, capable of
horizontal and vertical movements and conforming to MORTH
specifications are installed in hundreds of Bridges all across India and
Asia-Pacific. Strip seal joints offers ease of installation and effectively
seals the joints in Bridges and structures.        
 
  
 Basements
However, beginning with the development of
large, mid-priced suburban homes in the
1950s,, the basement, as a space in its own
1950s
right, gradually took hold. Initially, it was
typically a large, concrete-floored space,
accessed by indoor stairs, with exposed
columns and beams along the walls and
ceilings, or sometimes, walls of poured
concrete or concrete

  
Landscape Joints
In landscaping, materials used for expansion can be wood, rubber,
bitumen, plastic, felt, silicone, polymers or even a few millimetres
air gap.

In the case of wood, this material by its nature will naturally rot
after a period or exposure to water and air and leave a void when
it's completely perished. Unsightly weeds will often grow in the
deposits that form in the space where the wood once was.

  
Retaining Wall Joints
These are vertical or horizontal joints that are used between two
successive pours of concrete. Keys are used to increase the
shear resistance at the joint. If keys are not used, the surface of
the first pour is cleaned and roughened before the next
placement of concrete. Keys are almost always formed in the
base to give the stem added sliding resistance. The base is
formed first, and the stem constructed afterwards.

  
Parking decks/ ramps
 
To appreciate the complexity of ramps in car parks one has to recognise
that there are many types of ramps used in many different situations.

 
  
Water Retaining Structures

The Arrow Joint System is a Structural Sealing Joint System for bridges,
elevated highways, parking structures, stadiums, tunnels, water treatment
facilities and other engineering structures. Since 1972, this system has
proven that it is the most durable, versatile, cost effective and watertight
small movement expansion joint system in the industry.

RAPID TURNAROUND – The Arrow Joint System is not just another

expansion joint. The advantage of rapid turnaround, coupled with
durability and versatility, has led the engineering community to specify the
Arrow Joint System for hundreds of thousands of linear feet of expansion
and isolation joint installations around the world, in an endless variety of
markets.

SUPERIOR ISOLATION JOINT SEAL – The Arrow Joint System can be

installed as an isolation joint where other expansion joints may fail to
perform. When the design calls for the movement of different structural
elements as well as a watertight expansion joint, the Arrow Joint System is
most often chosen. Unlike most conventional expansion joints, the Arrow
Joint System has been designed to accommodate forces associated with
multi-directional movements. It is also resistant to hydrostatic pressure
where other expansion joints are not. Therefore, it can be used as
isolation joint to allow for the combination of shear, rotation and skew
movements, while acting as a watertight expansion and contraction joint
seal.

STATE OF THE ART DESIGN – The state of the art Arrow Joint System is
comprised of a neoprene Profile which is Air Pressurized and bonded in
place with a specially formulated Epoxy Adhesive. These three elements,
combined with unsurpassed field technical support, are the keys to
success of the Arrow Joint System. Each Arrow Joint System is comprised
of the same key elements, only the size and profile shape change.

  
NEOPRENE PROFILE – The Arrow Joint System profiles have been
engineered from a tough and durable neoprene (synthetic rubber) material
that is precision extruded to exact design tolerances. These profiles have
outstanding resistance to degradation from ozone, weathering, oils and
most other chemicals. The sidewalls of each profile are extruded with
multi-raised ribs. The ribbing maximizes the available epoxy adhesive
surface bond area.
 

  
EPOXY ADHESIVE – The epoxy adhesive is a two component, solvent
less, non-sag adhesive, which was developed especially for bonding the
neoprene profile to concrete, steel and other dissimilar materials. The
advantage of the epoxy adhesive over conventional mechanical anchors
is that it transfers the compression, tensile and flexural stresses uniformly
along and across the bond line.
 
PRESSURISATION – Prior to installation, the sidewalls of the actual joint
and the ribbed area of the neoprene profile are coated with the non-sag
epoxy adhesive. The neoprene profile is then placed into the joint gap and
aligned. After alignment is complete, the neoprene profile is inflated with
air. The air pressure expands the neoprene profile which forces the epoxy
coated rib walls of the profile against the epoxy coated sidewalls of the
joint and into the pores of the neoprene. As the profile expands against
the sidewalls, excess epoxy adhesive is squeezed out and the profile
conforms to the sidewalls, ensuring a watertight fit.

  
 ADVANTAGES:
When properly installed, the high performance Arrow Joint System will not
tear away, protrude out of or slip down from its original position when
exposed to repeated mechanical and thermal movements. In addition, the
neoprene profile and epoxy adhesive protect the joint from abuse
associated with dynamic movements and impact loads while remaining
watertight.
 
Wide Range Of Movement Forces – The Arrow Joint System’s design
inhibits water intrusion, while providing movement ranges from 66% to
100% of the profile width, depending on the expansion of the profile
selected.
 
Conforms To Changes In Structural Elements Direction – The Arrow
Joint System is extremely versatile; it will conform to changes including
vertical and horizontal changes in elevations, crossovers, T-intersections
and joint gap dimensions. This versatility enables the Arrow Joint System
to be installed in many applications where other expansion joints would
fail.
 
Quick Installation – The Arrow Joint System was designed to facilitate
rapid “return to service” of the structure. By minimizing downtime and
improving productivity, structures can be fully operational in record time.
