longitudinal joint

However, this places a longitudinal joint near where bicyclists often ride.

Lack of compaction in the surface of the asphalt, especially on the longitudinal joint can reduce the life of a pavement by 30 to 40%.

Tie-bars are deformed steel bars that are placed along longitudinal joints to hold adjacent pavement sections in place.

However, there may be smooth steel bars at transverse joints and deformed steel bars at longitudinal joints.

As their longitudinal joints were concreted atop the viaduct piers they comprise continuous girders, made composite with the deck slab using standard reinforcing steel.

This practice was satisfactory for the annular joints, running around the boiler, but in longitudinal joints, along the length of the boiler, the overlap of the plates diverted the boiler cross-section from its ideal circular shape.

A conical bore is carved out of each half and the pieces are then glued back together, the exterior planed to an octagonal profile, and the longitudinal joints secured by a series of bindings and a covering of black leather or parchment.

Prefabrication of the hulls began even before the final design was approved and proved to be a major mistake as the strength analysis of the longitudinal joints in the hull proved to be severely flawed and construction was suspended until the end of November 1927 when new blueprints were issued.
