Masonry and steel components used in constructing buildings are in a constant state of motion. Volumetric changes are produced by temperature variation and deformation resulting from static or dynamic loading and in some materials, such as masonry, due to moisture content. This article addresses means of determining when expansion and seismic joints are required and how to proportion and design appropriate joints, specifically in steel buildings. It does not cover the study of expansion joints in concrete structures, in masonry construction or in non-structural (architectural) elements.

Los elementos de mampostería y los miembros de acero usados en la construcción de edificios se mantienen en constante movimiento. Los cambios volumétricos son producto de las variaciones de temperatura y las deformaciones producidas por las cargas estáticas o dinámicas, y en algunos materiales, por los cambios en el contenido de humedad dentro de los mismos, tal el caso de la mampostería. El presente artículo está dirigido a la determinación de cuándo se requieren juntas de expansión o sísmicas, y como proporcionarlas y diseñarlas con propiedad, específicamente en edificios de acero. No se incluye el estudio de las juntas en estructuras de concreto, en muros, ni otros elementos arquitectónicos.
