Seismic Systems Series

Floor, Wall, Ceiling & Roof Expansion Joint Covers in Stainless Steel & Aluminium

The Latham Seismic Systems Series expansion joint covers, are designed to accommodate extreme movement that occurs during seismic activity and earthquakes. They are also commonly used in modern hi-rise structures, that experience excessive movement during very high winds like typhoons, hurricanes and cyclones. These structures are usually isolated from the ground by base isolators and are designed to move during these occurrences. Generally structural joint widths designed to accommodate seismic activity are much wider than normal expansion joints in buildings. The theory behind this is that the slabs of the structure can move large amounts without bashing into each other causing structural damage to the building. The Latham range of Seismic Expansion Joint Covers are designed to accommodate this potential movement, with little or no damage to the expansion joint covers, meaning the structure in relation to the expansion joint covers will be damage free and functioning normally after a seismic or high wind event.

It should be noted that all of the Latham ranges of mechanical expansion joint covers will accommodate some seismic movement, particularly when the structure is designed with wide joint width to accommodate this potential movement. Although standard ranges of expansion joint covers may require some maintenance and repair after seismic activity occurs. In some cases designers and owners of the buildings feel it may be better to put in a system that will deal with the movement and require some repair after a seismic incident, as this generally reduces the width of the expansion joint cover required. Discuss these options further with your Latham representative.

When it is necessary to install a Seismic Expansion Joint Cover, Latham Seismic Systems offer the best option to deal with the movement. All of the systems can be custom made to suit different joint widths and allow different amounts of movement to best suit the design criteria for the structure.

The Latham Seismic EXSSM Seismic Series floor expansion joint covers are designed to accommodate normal thermal movement as well as seismic movement. The series is designed to be surface mounted and can accommodate the Latham Fire Barrier System.

The Latham Seismic EXSSM floor expansion joint covers are designed for normal pedestrian applications such as office buildings, hotels, foyers, shopping centres and airports etc, where seismic movement is a real possibility and the joints are required to perform after seismic movement has occurred.

These joint covers can be used in conjunction with many floor finishes such as tile, timber, concrete, vinyl, direct stick carpet and carpet tiles, epoxy floors etc. It is recommend that the EXSSM series of expansion joint covers be mechanically fixed and also fixed in place using Latham Thixotropic Epoxy Adhesive. The systems offer various movements in 6 directions. The joint covers can be custom manufactured to suit joint widths and movement requirements of the structure. Contact your Latham Australia representative to discuss your projects exact requirements.

Seismic

The Latham Seismic PAVA-Inlay Series SGAL floor expansion joint covers are designed to accommodate a 50mm deep inlay. These systems offer both standard thermal building movement and in the case of a seismic event, the Santoprene inserts will dislodge and allow the cover plate to move the extreme amounts required during the seismic activity due to the specially designed and patented Lathamflex Centering Bar. Once the seismic event is over and assuming the structure settles back to its original position the Santoprene inserts will easily push back into their housings.

The Santoprene inserts are far superior to other competing inlay joint covers available that require sealant inserts which do not cope with movement and traffic, and depress or de-bond over time. The Santoprene inserts ensure that even with movement occurring the expansion joint covers look neat and tidy and continue to perform without requiring maintenance. The Santoprene inserts are available in grey (standard), buff and black on specification.


This Series can carry a BFG water gutter and if required the Series can accommodate the Latham Fire Barrier System when the installation joint width is 50mm or wider. The overall depth below the finished floor height is 65mm. The Latham PAVA Series floor expansion joint covers are designed for normal pedestrian applications such as airport terminals, office buildings, hotels, foyers, stadiums and shopping centres. The systems offer various movement in 6 directions.

This series is supplied standard with a BFG water gutter.

The range can be installed on a concrete or timber hob. The elevated side members are installed high above the slabs. The side member is designed to assist in holding down the membrane material.

The Latham Seismic FPLSM roof expansion joint covers are supplied in mill finish aluminium and, on request, the systems can be anodised or powder coated to compliment the architectural aesthetics of the design. If this is required, please contact a Latham representative to discuss the application.
