joint geometry
Explanation:
I'd say that "konstruksjon" is an ill-chosen term, as it is the geometry of the joint's cross section that is of concern. The geometry governs the welding procedure.

Amm, seems I didn\'t read the question well enough there, sorry!
This is not for a welding joint, but the expansion joint for a bridge, it seems. In that case, I\'d go for \"joint design\" rather than \"joint construction\".

agree  Mari Noller: joint design seems fitting
1 hr
agree  Tore Bjerkek: I wanted to say "sealing" joint - but Roald is right in that is also could be an expansion joint. We just dont know. This would cover both. But do specify if you can from the context.
