Control Joint Needed in Pile Cap?
Control Joint Needed in Pile Cap?
(OP)
Pile caps are usually thick and fairly heavily reinforced for shear and flexural loading. It seems like cracking is not an issue even for a large pile cap (say 40' x 70'). We normally limit the W/C ratio to .45. I am wondering if anyone specifies control joints and if so what is the criteria, spacing, etc. I would appreciate any comments on this subject.
