0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part I ) ( First Revision ) was adopted by the
Indian Standards Institution on 4 March 1983; after the draft finalized by
the Building Construction Practices Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 Joints are required in concrete roads, runways, floor and roof slabs of
buildings to relieve stresses developed due to temperature shrinkage,
creep, relaxation, vibration, etc. To provide an even surface these joints
must be filled and at the same time the materials used for filling should
permit expansion and contraction of the concrete. The joint filler is a
strip of compressible material used to form and fill the expansion joints
in structures. The chief function of the joint filler is to permit the joint
to expand without developing stresses. Joint filler are produced from a
variety of materials such as bitumen impregnated fibre, cork strips,
sponge or synthetic rubber, expanded plastics, epoxy, coconut pith and
CNSL resin. This standard ( Part I ) has been prepared to cover the
requirements for the bitumen impregnated fibre type of expansion joint
fillers. The requirements for other types will be issued separately.
0.3 To makethe joints effective itis also necessary to prevent the ingress
of water or grit down the joint. This is achieved by using a sealing
compound over the joint filler. The requirements. for sealing compounds
and methods of installation. of joints has been covered ‘separately ( ~68

0.4 This standard was first published in 1961 with a view to provide
guidance to the manufacturers to facilitate commercial production. This
revision has been prepared to take into consideration various recommend-
ations received from the users. In this revision additional alternative
fibres for the manufacture of fillers have been indicated. The method of
manufacture has been dealt in detail and additional physical recluirements
have been added. The methods of tests have been deleted and included
in a separate Indian Standard. The title of the standard has also been
modified.
0.5 This standard contains clause 4.1 which permits the purchaser to use
his option for selection to suit his requirements.
