At the ends of the expansion joints are black plastic diaphragms, maybe to prevent banging of the deck against the backwall. If that was the intention however, it didn't prevent shear cracking at the bottom of the backwall. The red steel barrier rail has a telescoping connection to handle the movement of the joint.
