A moving joint is a device that reduces stress in a tile due to temperature changes. The function of the moving joint is to allow the material to leave a certain space when contracting or expanding, to avoid cracking or deformation.
The necessity of moving joints depends on the nature of the material, the form of the structure and the conditions of the environment. In general, shrinkage joints are necessary because the material expands and contracts when the temperature changes, and if there is not enough room to accommodate this change, it can cause damage to the structure. For example, ceramic tile is a commonly used building material, if there is no active joint, the temperature difference is too large when there is a crack. When the material size is too large, the shrinkage joint cannot cope with future changes, it is necessary to set up a movement joint.
Of course, not all cases require a contraction seam. Some materials have high cracking resistance or elasticity and can withstand a certain degree of temperature change without cracking or deformation. Some structures have smaller sizes or simpler forms that allow the effects of temperature changes to be ignored. Some ambient temperatures are more stable, or the temperature difference is small, which can reduce the impact of temperature changes on the material. Therefore, in the design and construction, it is necessary to determine whether the contraction joint needs to be set, as well as the location, size, and form of the contraction joint according to the specific situation.
In short, the moving joint can effectively protect the integrity and stability of the structure and improve the service life and safety of the structure. The necessity of expansion joints depends on a variety of factors, which need to be judged and designed according to the actual situation.
