Does anyone know of a technical document and/or spec. that outlines & discusses expansion joints for exposed structural steel?
I've already read thread594-20505 from this site, however, this thread discusses BUILDING expansion joints and makes no reference to long, non-building steel structures in direct exposure to the sun and the temprature changes.
For example,
I am designing a structural steel pipe trestle that will be on the roof of an automotive plant. The trestle has overall dimensions as high as 900ft. Expansion joints will be needed and I am seeking supportive technical/spec documentation simular to the one mentioned in thread594-20505 but in regards to exp. joints for whether exposed steel.
Any help would be most appreciated.
