Expansion joint seal with surface load transfer and intumescent

An expansion joint system, comprising:

• an elongated core,
• the elongated core composed of a resiliently compressible foam,
• the elongated core is coated with an elastomer,
• the elongated core having an elongated core longitudinal axis,
• the elongated core having an elongated core longitudinal length,
• the elongated core having an elongated core top,
• the elongated core having an elongated core bottom,
• the elongated core having an elongated core height intermediate the elongated core top and the elongated core bottom,
• the elongated core having an elongated core first side,
• the elongated core first side being generally perpendicular to the elongated core top,
• the elongated core having an elongated core second side,
• the elongated core second side being generally perpendicular to the elongated core top;
• and
• three longitudinal load-transfer members,
• each of the three longitudinal load-transfer members being incompressible,
• each of the three longitudinal load-transfer members having a longitudinal load-transfer member axis,
• each of the elongated core longitudinal axes and the longitudinal load-transfer member axes being parallel,
• each of the three longitudinal load-transfer members having a longitudinal load-transfer member length,
• each of the three longitudinal load-transfer members bonded to the elongated foam core at the elongated core top, and
• each of the three longitudinal load-transfer members spaced apart between the elongated core first side and the elongated core second side.
