Control Joints for Monolithic Slab?
Control Joints for Monolithic Slab?
(OP)
Should control joints be used for monolithic slabs, as with other types of slab construction? If so, would the following general rule apply?:
"The joints should be ΒΌ of the depth of the slab and no more than 2-3 times (in feet) of the thickness of the concrete (in inches). So 4"concrete should have joints 8-12' apart." (source: concretenetwork.com)
Would appreciate some guidance on this.
Thanks.
