Joint Information
(OP)
I want to design an expansion to an existing building but I want it to make it independent of the existing structure. What kind of joint should I use between the old and new slab?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Joint Information
Is this a slab-on-grade or a structural slab that you are asking about? Conventionally reinforced or post-tensioned? Heated or unheated structures? Approx. length of structures? Will you be carrying the expansion joint thru the walls and roof also?
Are you in a seismic zone?
As you can see there are many consideration depending on what you are talking about. We need more info.
