My question is do we need to calculate the spacing based on the expected temp.
Expansion joint concrete retaining wall.
Other constru c tion joints coincide with or function as contraction or expansion joints.
Expansion joints are provided in slabs pavements buildings bridges sidewalks railway tracks piping systems ships and other structures.
This article emphases on need of expansion.
8 2 types of joints in concrete walls 8 3 contraction joints 8 4 isolation or expansion joints 8 5 construction joints.
Expansion joints are placed in concrete to prevent expansive cracks formed due to temperature change.
Construction joints separate the work of the concrete being poured at different times.
They may be vertical and horizontal.
Concrete undergoes expansion due to high temperature when in a confined boundary which leads to cracks.
This temperature variation causes expansion and contraction in the structure.
S t r uction joint restricts wall move ments and should be as strong as the wall without joints.
According to joints in concrete construction aci 2243r code manual movements in the wall can be expected up to 0 5 inches if we space the expansion joints at 100 ft o c.
Typical expansion joint detail backfill and drainage requirements.
Reinforced concrete retaining wall specifications for expansion joints.
Backfilling against reinforced concrete retaining walls shall not be permitted until the concrete has reached its 28 day strength.
Expansion joints are provided in every large structure which is subjected to high variation in temperature during its lifetime.
