A bituminous fiber strip that is inserted between concrete blocks, bricks or concrete paving to prevent cracking due the expansion caused by temperature changes
Area of a fire-rated component designed and punched to provide thermal expansion relief for that component Due to expansion of steel when heated, this expansion control is necessary to keep the fire membrane intact
a structural separation between two building elements that allows free movements between the elements without damage to the roofing or waterproofing system
