Expansion joints made of asphalt serve to absorb the movement of structures without damage at crossings to the road. They also prevent water from penetrating the substructure. The way they work is based on the interaction of a special permanently elastic impregnating mass of polymer bitumen and a stable aggregate. The execution requires a lot of skill and know-how from the team, and it is subject to strict rules.
