Calculating the Number of Expansion Elements at Building/Load Profile Expan-
sion Joints
Use the layout or the position of load profile expansion joints observed on-site to determine the appropriate expansion
distance. The number of expansion modules needed per load profile expansion joint is determined by the basic formu-
la:
Expansion distance of load profile expansion joints (mm) / 16 mm = number of expansion modules (round up to the
nearest whole number)
Example from Fig. 3:
Load profile expansion joints with 20 mm expansion distance at one position:
20 mm / 16mm = 1.25
2 expansion modules next to one another, with 32 mm max. expansion distance
