@buildsum The video first showed a control joint between two already poured slabs, which made sense. However, it then transitioned to a beveled construction joint, with the control joint still present. This seemed confusing, as a control joint wouldn’t exist when creating a construction joint with the first slab-the second slab hasn’t been poured yet. So, my understanding is that when pouring the first slab, there's no need for a control joint. And when the second slab is poured, a control joint still isn’t necessary because the construction joint already creates a full-depth gap. Is this correct? I would see a need for a control joint in the center if either slab is very long (which was stated in the video).

Hi Raghu, Thanks for your comment. In reply to your questions 1) Expansion Joints could be incorporated into all of these joints.

Here are a couple of videos that may help with the placement of the steel. kzitem.info?o=U&video_id=vuZcPTp51Zk kzitem.info?o=U&video_id=0Um_Ttv95Ko

Just had a 1200 sq ft patio poured. Simple rectangle shape, 3 sides are open to the yard with nothing against it. One side its full length is against a poured concrete basement wall. Contractor claims that there is an expansion joint between those pours but I can't see it. There are saw cuts about every 7 foot by 7 foot square over the whole 20 by 60 patio. Patio has rebar. Is that enough for expansion since 3 sides are not against anything?

Hi William, It is possilbe that there could be an expansion joint betweeen the slabs with a small layer of concrete over it so you cant see it so it could be there. Given that it is open on the other 3 other sides it is not going to be as important as if it was enclosed. As for the control joints that sounds like there is easily enough. Hope this helps

Can I still ask questions? My 15’ by 15’ garage just got new concrete laid down. 4 inches and more. This large shed has wood around the base perimeters. Some were rot so we replaced those too. The builder laid down metal mesh, and poured one piece in one day. Lots of work but they emphasized the importance of one piece. Because the previous concrete was done in four slabs and the panels shifted up and down. But, he didn’t do co trip joints and not sure about expansion joints around the edges. Would it be a big deal? Maybe the wood sill/frame allows the expansion and shrinkage?

A question if I may, in an area where I can not get a cement truck and can only mix by cement mixer, a slab on ground with side footings that go into ground, as in your slab on ground video, it will be impossible to pour the full slab in one day. I wish to use the key joint method , my question is do I do each section with edge footing, or do I do the whole edge/footing first then the slab on top, also not so sure how i will do the key joint with the mesh layed out. Any advice would be great and thanks again.

Hi Peter, it is possible to pour the footing and the slab separately. Once the footing is poured to slab could even be done in small sections as required. As for the Key Joint, it is easier to set up the formwork and key joints first and then cut in the reinforcement however you can layout the reinforcement and then cut a slot for the key joint to go into. Remember the reinforcement does not cross the key joint. Hope this helps

@Buildsum

Hi Mate Both do a similar job, however, it would depend on what you need to do. If you were joining on to or extending an existing slab that has been poured for a while you would have to dowel it to connect to it. If you were just stopping the pour and continuing the pour the next day I would use the Key joint as there is less work involved to form the connection. Concrete will shrink as it sets, as the water evaporates however it will also expand and contract with changes in temperature for the rest of its life. Hope this helps
@skutsenkow
4 жыл бұрын
This is a great video! If you are using dowels, does the concrete need to be able to expand and contract with the dowels or can it just shift with the pad it's doweled into? Meaning both pads move together. Also, if you are going to plan on using dowels, do you just run your joiner tool on the one first pad while it's wet? Essentially your tool is only running along half a pad.
@Buildsum
4 жыл бұрын
Hi Steven, Thanks for your comment, the dowel has to let the slabs expand and contract independently, this is why the dowel that goes into one of the slabs are lubricated and protected so they don’t grip the concrete. This will allow independent side to side movement but not up and down movement. As for the edging or finishing generally, the slabs would not be poured at the same time so they are finished independently.

Hi Buildsum, how can you tell visually if something is a control joint or a construction joint if you're inspecting a finished concrete floor say in a warehouse?

Hi Thomas, not really as they can look exactally the same however the Contol joint wont have any expansion joint in it so is generally thinner where as the construction joint could ( but doesn't have to) an expansion joint so it would be approx 10mm wide. Now days most Control joints are cut into the slab a day or so after it is poured so if it just looks like a cut that is 3mm wide it would be a Control Joint. Hope that helps.

All three joints should be used once??

Hi Naveed, while it is possible to have all three joints in the one slab it is not necessary. In some cases, you may use the same joint multiple times.

Thanks for the video. Would a concrete window sill 2.25m X 0.40m need an expansion joint in the middle?

Hi Mate, no not in the middle however i would make some allowance to movement at the ends especially if it is supported on a different material like brickwork. Hope this helps.

+Nate Brady HI Nate Personally i have never heard of a Day Joint or a Crack inducing joint however i would imagine that the Day Joint would be the same as the Construction Joint and the Crack inducing joint would be the Control joint. Hope this helps.

A "Day Joint" is where a person lives during the day, opposite a night joint.

Hi Hatem I believe that a cold joint would be the same as the Construction Joint as it is joining to a Cold or Set surface.
