The paper gives a brief introduction into the world of large bridge expansion joints, their special needs and the particular challenges they present. A special focus is given to the experience gained when designing, manufacturing, shipping and installing modular expansion joints for the Run Yang Bridge, China’s largest and the world’s third largest suspension bridge. With its 27 cells, the larger of the bridge’s modular expansion joints facilitates longitudinal movement of 2,160mm, at the time the largest ever installed, anywhere in the world. |
