[Column] What is a steel deck? Key points for installing expansion devices explained.
Explanation of the structure and features of the expansion device for steel deck plates, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of steel deck plates!
Steel deck plates have the advantage of being able to lighten the bridge girders themselves. Additionally, they are valued for their ability to significantly shorten construction periods, but care must be taken when installing expansion devices. This article explains the characteristics of steel deck plates and the key points for installing expansion devices. We also introduce expansion devices that can be used with steel deck plates, so please refer to this as a guide for selecting devices. *For detailed content of the column, you can view it through the related links.

CRETEC, a company under Crittec Industries, was born from the combination of Create (creation) and Technology. As a comprehensive manufacturer of bridge expansion devices, we continue to develop expansion devices that contribute to the longevity of bridges and environmental protection. Moreover, we do not stop at product manufacturing; by consistently handling everything from research, design, manufacturing, sales, to construction in-house, we can manufacture and install expansion devices that meet the requests of our clients and general contractors, as well as the conditions and environments of the bridges and roads on-site. We also take into account the issues that arise during the installation of expansion devices and the damage conditions of existing devices that are removed, using this information to improve and develop our products. Please feel free to contact us for inquiries about bridge expansion devices, requests for materials, or estimates. ◆ What is a bridge expansion device? It is a component installed in the gap between the bridge abutment and the bridge girder, or between bridge girders. When designing a bridge, it is necessary to create a gap to prevent the bridge girders from colliding due to expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes. The bridge expansion device is required to cover this gap and ensure safe passage for vehicles and pedestrians.
