Hi, does anyone know if there are also accident caused by failure of rubber expansion joints??

I read on case were the joint was used in the wrong way:

"A bellows able to take 3mm lateral movement was thus installed where about 50mm was imposed. It survived about 3 months then ruptured, shutting down the local town."

Can anyone tell me about problems or faillure of rubber expansion joints??

Best regards,
