Bridge Joint MDM Segmental Plate
The Wabo®MDM TransFlex is a unique multi-directional movement (MDM) segmental plate expansion joint assembly designed to accommodate large differential displacements, rotations and service movements as well as seismic movements.
Description
The Wabo®MDM TransFlex is a unique multi-directional movement (MDM) segmental plate expansion joint assembly designed to accommodate large differential displacements, rotations and service movements as well as seismic movements.
The simplistic design of the assembly is comprised of four main design components: the deck plate, the elastomeric segmental panels, the support plate and the welded channel/box assembly. Unlike other large movement capacity expansion joint technologies, Wabo®MDM TransFlex shifts the expansion component away from the critical joint opening and onto the deck surface. This shift increases the service life of the elastomeric segmental panels.
