From another thread...

Can anyone recommend a couple of texts or articles on the inclusion of expansion joints in structures, in particular including effects of changes in shape of the floor plans (abrupt changes) and materials of construction? This may assist hoangvhuy in the Concrete section.

Thanks Jed... the poster is from Vietnam and is having a little problem finding information on expansion joints. His building has a fairly complex floor plan to it.
