Abstract: The paper gives a brief introduction to the various available systems which are aimed at reducing noise at expansion joints in road bridges. A short description of each type of joint is presented, with consideration also of further factors such as cost, kinematical behaviour, over-rolling comfort, safety and drainage. In addition, supplementary or alternative possibilities of noise reduction, which are independent of the expansion joint itself, are discussed.
