Movement joints in concrete slab 1

[MIStructE_IRE]

Hi,

I have a flat slab structure. Its internal so no great temperature variation. How far do you normally push it before you introduce a movement joint? Any good reference documents?

This doc is steel focused but we use the TR65 document referenced in it which is multi-material: Link

In my experience, we push it very far in concrete slabs in aseismic areas. You can get a lot done with delay strips and the like.

Thanks Koot, a great reference doc.
