dc.description.abstract	Sealing of bridge expansion joint systems is important to protect the structural components below the joint. An elastomeric foam-type joint sealant has been developed for sealing small-movement bridge expansion joints. Laboratory tests including tension, compression, shear, bonding, stress relaxation, cure rate, tack-free time, and water tightness were performed on this sealant. In addition, loading-unloading behavior in tension and compression and effects of immersion in saturated saltwater solution on its engineering properties were investigated. The silicone foam sealant showed an increase in volume of
