Moment slab joints on top of MSE wall

Moment slab joints on top of MSE wall

(OP)
Has anyone worked with MSE walls before where the moment slab is casted in place.  I'm having a hard time trying to figure out where to place the expansion joints in it.  No designs where given.  My idea is to line up the parapet wall joints with the moment slab joints and place them at every 30 feet.  Will this work?  I'm running out of time!!

mgalvan,

Contact your state DOT (if it's a transportation application) structural department for guidance.

mgalvan,

Your solution sounds fine to me.
