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.
