An essential part of a civil engineer’s tool kit, expansion joints work wonders for bridges like the Verrazano Bridge. Expansion joints on bridges allow for safe and smooth movement, accommodating thermal expansion and contraction. They prevent structural damage by absorbing vibrations and shifts, ensuring bridge longevity and integrity. #expansionjoints #civilengineer #toolkit #VerrazanoBridge #bridges #thermalexpansion #contraction #structuraldamage #vibrations
