Surfacing Matrix 502 may be placed within any concrete pavement and asphaltic concrete wearing courses where access is available for the necessary excavation. Depth Requirement Matrix 502 must be placed to a minimum depth of 2" (50mm). Minor scarification of the bridge deck may be necessary in some instances. Matrix 502 is an easily adaptable product. Due to its flexible, yet resilient nature, Matrix 502 can be used in the following circumstances: • Pressure Relief Joint on approach slabs. • Longitudinal Joint between two decks to accommodate small live load defections. |

The MATRIX 502 joint is installed in
cutouts in the deck surfacing ranging from 2 to 6 inches deep (5 to
15cm) and 20 to 24 inches (51 to 61cm) wide. The joint can be used
for both expansion and fixed end joints at abutments or piers in
many bridge types. These include concrete slab, concrete beam,
pre-stressed concrete and steel beam, either simple or multi-span.
It can also be used as a pressure relief joint on bridge approach
slabs, in both new construction or rehabilitation projects. The
Matrix 502 Joint can be installed on 30° maximum skews and skews up
to 45° in low traffic and can be placed in the deck surfacing layer
of either asphalt concrete or Portland Cement Concrete. Completed
joints are black in color. Matrix 502 Joints are low cost, quick and
easy to install and maintain.
