Obviously, the system cannot be field-adapted for any conditions, with the possible
exception of shortening by field cuts. This requires that any termination or transitions be
covered by using premanufactured pieces provided by the manufacturer. A typical floor-
to-wall transition metal joint is shown in Fig. 6.32.

Below-grade expansion systems
Various treatments are used for below-grade expansion joints. As discussed in Chap. 2, these
joints typically are not subject to thermal movement, but only to movement from structural
