This expansion joint is suitable to absorb longitudinal and transverse displacements of the decks with span up to 25 metres and covering gaps of up to 50 mm. It consists of: • anchoring system consisting of steel anchor clamps (anchor rods) of suitable dimensions and section; • CNR 10018/85-compliant reinforced rubber elements, to be fixed to the slabs, consisting of central bridging plate and two steel bearing elements, subject to prior laying of epoxy resin bedding; • hypalon gutter, fixed to the two slab heads by epoxy plaster.

Joint 90/65 AS (levelled wings) was specifically designed for highway use within structures creating longitudinal movements of ± 15 (mm), vertical movements up to 10mm. It consists of an extruded rubber bellows, vulcanized to two 65x80x9 mm T-profiles and anchored to the slab by clamps of suitable diameter, placed at centre distance of 240 mm. The extruded rubber, together with the steel profiles it is vulcanized to, makes up a water-tight system and seamlessly covers the entire width of the road bed. Water-tight capacity around the areas close to the joint is ensured by appropriate water-proof materials. POS.

Railway expansion joint rail with water-proof and dielectric characteristics suitable to absorb longitudinal movements of the decks from 100 to 450 mm and vertical deformations up to ± 50 mm. This type of joint is designed to prevent the ballast penetration in the gap or in any active part of the joint. The RFI-approved series (built according to instruction 44/e) is for displacements from I 00 to 250 mm. Consisting of: • CNR 10018/85-compliant reinforced rubber dielectric modular pads consisting of a central bridging plate and two side elements; • mechanical anchoring system consisting of threaded bars fixed with epoxy resin; • stainless steel protection and sliding plates; • hypalon gutter; • side draining slats for under-ballast infiltration waters; • epoxy mortar transition strip between the joint and the binder. To complete the Beta railway joint the sidewalk and ballast joint is available, consisting of: • reinforced dielectric rubber flange: flat for the sidewalk and shaped fo

The panels have standard dimensions with heights ranging from mm 1000/1 250/1 500 and lengths from mm 2950/3950; they can be made to be housed inside HE12O/1 40/1 60 profiles. The panel frame consists of horizontal and vertical beams with different insertion sections of mm 100 for HE 160 profile, mm 80 for HE 140 profile and mm 60 for HE 120 profile; The 20mm-thick rear side, representing the sound-insulating part of the barrier, consists of a battened or tongue&grooved matchboard. Inside the panel sound-absorbing material - mineral wool - with density 90 kg/mc, thickness 50 mm, supported by wooden pads to create an inner tube suitable to enhance the acoustic features: the sound-absorbing material is protected by a green or black smoke- and UV-resistant silicone net with 90% fine weft. The front face has slats for aesthetic/wool keeping purposes, which can be mounted diagonally, vertically or horizontally. An "EPDM" seal is fitted on the vertical sides of the panel front to lock

The panels have standard dimensions with heights ranging from mm 1000/1 250/1 500 and lengths from mm 2950/3950; they can be made to be housed inside HE120O/1 40/1 60 profiles. The panel frame consists of horizontal and vertical beams with different insertion sections of mm 80 for HE 160 profile, mm 60 for HE 140 profile and mm 40 for HE 120 profile; the 20mm-thick rear and front side, representing the sound-insulating part of the barrier, consists of a battened or tongue&grooved matchboard. Inside the panel no sound-absorbing material is fitted. The front face is embellished with motifs and drawings of various kinds. An "EPDM" seal is fitted on the vertical sides of the panel front to lock the panel inside the HE profile; an "EPDM" flat seal is also fitted at the panel bottom to avoid breaks between the panels. Bolts and screws include stainless steel screws, 15-micron passivated ring nails, galvanized clips. The wood used is impregnated pinewood; all the wooden elements are impr

The 6W64 wall consists of very thin reinforced concrete elements that, by alternating voids and fills** during fitting, create a set of pots to be filled with soil; more than 50% of the front surface consists of exposed soil which is arranged according to its natural sloping angle. The foundation elements rest on a concrete slab or on prefabricated elements; they are fitted by alternating right and left elements** and fixing is ensured by steel bars. The fill-in soil shall be green, rich in humus or in any case so as to ensure taking root of vegetation. The soil filling and compacting (to be accomplished by poleaxe) shall be performed every other layer of the structure, in order to let the soil fill completely the space available. It is preferable to fit an automatic sprinkler system during the mounting phase: the low cost is appropriately offset by the saving of maintenance costs and by the advantages in terms of sound-proof performance and appearance. The 6W64 wall can be placed bo

with expanded clay or with mineral wood fibres The factors that mostly affect the efficiency of acoustic barriers are sound-insulation linked to the masses involved and sound-absorption linked to the porosity and shape of the materials. The noise barrier consists of two layers, one of normal reinforced concrete with a density of 2200-2400 kg/mc, having a supporting function, one of light porous concrete with a density of 900-1100kg/mc. FIP and TECNOACUSTICA offer a noise barrier consisting of a 100mm-thick prefabricated structure of self-stable reinforced concrete and a Greek-fretted facade made of lightweight concrete panels with expanded clay and/or mineral wood fibres for a total thickness of 120mm.
The standard length of panels is 292 cm, which permits a typical centre distance of 3 metres. In terms of height, standard measurements of individual panels are 1.5 metres and 2 metres. Panels are fitted onto metal frames that are dimensioned so as to withstand the stress resulting fro

Tuned mass dampers, also known as TMD, are one of the many types of anti-vibration systems manufactured by FIP INDUSTRIALE. They are especially suitable to be used in flexible structures affected by external phenomena characterized by a range of disturbance frequencies such as to interfere with the own frequency of the structure. Said devices are therefore applied to walkways, cable-strayed bridges, coverage and stadium terraces, chimneys, towers and skyscrapers etc. in order to reduce structural oscillations due to the disturbance (for example running pedestrians, dancing audience, wind, earthquake, ...).
