Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of bridges, and in particular relates to a bridge expansion joint structure. Background Art

[0002] Bridge expansion joints are typically installed between beam ends, between beam ends and abutments, or at hinged joints to accommodate bridge deck deformation. This structure accommodates bridge expansion and contraction due to temperature fluctuations by dividing the bridge deck into several sections along its length, and each section is then divided into several sections along its length. Existing expansion joints effectively absorb and attenuate vibration energy generated by horizontal displacement of the bridge due to external shocks, earthquakes, and other vibrations, thereby improving the bridge structure. However, the ends of existing expansion joints are susceptible to damage, potentially leading to structural failure due to excessive loads. Utility Model Content
