Vertical Cold Joint in Concrete Beams
Vertical Cold Joint in Concrete Beams
(OP)
I have 100' feet long continuous concrete beam with columns at every 20'. Do I need to call out the locations of a cold joint in the drawings? I am guessing the contractor will not be able to pour the beam entirely in one pour. If yes, what are the locations that are appropriate. One of our engineers is telling me it should be at the columns. Shouldn't the cold joint be at the location with the minimum moment and shear (about 1/3 of the span of an interior beam)?
