Control joints above strip footing
Control joints above strip footing
(OP)
Is it acceptable to install control joints in a slab above a strip footing or is there a minimum distance they should be away from the strip footing? Thank you.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

If you are talking about a strip footing in the middle of the floor, then presumably it supports a wall. It is usual to provide a pour break and concrete curb to keep the wood dry, so a sawcut would not be used in the slab at that location.

Non-bearing partitions are usually built directly on top of the slab with a clearance at the top to permit movement.
