MOVEMENT JOINTS

1. Definition

2. Types of movement joints

3. Placement of joints

1) Definition

 Movement joints are used in brick masonry to allow for movement and to avoid
cracking

 Movements in a building are due to change in the volume of building material volume
changes due to change in temp

 Movement joints must be properly designed for load bearing & non load bearing
components.

TYPES OF MOVEMENT JOINTS

Movement joints are of following types

1. Expansion joints

2. Control joints(contraction joints)

3. Building expansion (isolation) joints

4. Construction joint (cold joints)

EXPANSION JOINTS

Expansion joints are provided to accommodate movement. And its prevent crackling due to

1. Changes in temperature

2. Moisture expansion

3. Elastic deformation due to loads

4. Creep

Expansion joints may be horizontal or vertical

2) CONTROL JOINTS

These joints are provided to create a plane of weakness. With rain forcemeat.

Due to volume changes resulting from shrinkage and creep.

A vertical opening is provided formed of inelastic martial

3) BULDING EXPANSION (ISOLATION) JOINTS

These joints are provided its separate a portion of a building from the rest of building stress developed
due to loading in that section will not effect the re sot the building

4) CONSTRUCTION JOINT (COLD JOINT)

It is mainly used in concrete construction where construction work is required to stop these joint are
provided.

PLACEMENT OF JOINTS

3-1) EXPANSIAN JOINTS

Typical detail of an expansion joint is given in fig (1)

 Sealants are used on exterior side.

 And foam pad, neoprene pad or lopper water stop is used from inside

 Sealant must confirm ASTM C 920

 may sealants are available in market but elastomeric sealants are the best :they are highly
elastic & have high resistance to weather

They are of three types

1) urethanes

2) Silicones

3) Polysulfide

Backer road is used behind the sealant it’s maintain constant depth 6mm (1⁄4˝) depth is
minimum with up to half the depth of joint.

Specify OF expansion JOINT

Specific expansion joints is decided by consider the amount of

1. expected wall movement

2. joint material compressibility

3. external factors

If

mu = movement of wall (unrestrained) inches

Ke= coefficient of moisture expiation in/in

Kf = coefficient of free expiation in/in

Kt = coefficient of thermal expiation in/in /t

ΔT = change in temp of (BW)

L = length of wall (in)

Ke = 0.0005 in/in (for day masonry)

Kf = 0.0002 in/in applicable below 14oF (-10 oC)

Lt = 0.000004 in/in/oF

Mu = (Ke+Kf+Kt+ΔΤ )L –(1)

If Se= Specify b/w joints in

Wi = width of expansion joint (in)

Ej = extensibility of expansion joint material (%)

Wi vary from 3/8˝ (10mm) to 1/2˝ (13mm)

Ej = 25% to 50%

ΔΤ vary from 50% (10 oC) to 160 oF (71 oC)

Se = Wjej

( Ke+Kf+kt+ ΔΤ) 100

NUMERICAL

For a brick wall heavy following detail design an expansion joint

1. color light red [

2. joint width wi = 3/8˝ (10mm)

3. extensibility of scaled ej = 50%

4. dry condition for wall are expected (i.e. Kf = o )

Solution

Se = (0.375 (50)

[0.0005+0.000004(100)]

Se = 208 in or 17-4 (5.3m)

So max spacing = (5 3m) or 5.5m

Generally in wall with out openings (30) is the max spacing for exp joints

Openings like doors windows reduce the spacing

PLACES FOR EXPANSION JOINTS

 A) VERTICLE

 CORNER

 OFFSET & SET ACLS

 JUNCTIONS

 PARAPETS

B) HORIZONTAL

L1 + L2 < Se

( L1 + L2 ) ≤ 10ft

CONTROL JOINT OR CONTRACTION JOINTS

They are of following types

1) Complete construction joint

2) Partial construction joint

3) Dump joint

Along width along length of slab

Water storage tank joints

CONSTRUCTION JOINT

SLABS COLUMMS

PERSTRESSED CONCRETE

1) DEFN

2) BASIC PRINICIPLE

3) TYPES OF TENBARS

4) TYPE OF PRESTRESSING

5) CASTING & PRESTRESSING

I. DEFN

It is applied it’s that type of concrete members in which concrete is

subjected its compressive stresses before external leadings include
tensile stress in bars.
 111. TENDONS

Tendons are 1/4˝ diameter wires

Tendons are used in prestesses member whom may be

I. High strength steel wires ( ¼˝ - ½˝ )

II. High strength alloy steel bars (1/2˝ – 1- 1/8˝)

In pretensioned member 7 wire strand is used

In pest tens members 7,19,3 or even more wise strand is used

2. BASIC PRINCIPLE

Tensile force is applied to tensile reinforcement before the application of loads

TYPES OF PRESTRESSING

I. Prestrensiong

II. Post tensioning

In per tensioning tendon is stressed & concrete is poured in the mould.

Concrete embed with the tendon and after Harding the tendon applied force an
the or member

In post tension the member is castled with ducts for tendons the at the end
tendons are stressed using jacks.

CASTING & PRESTRESSING

FISED HEED ,CASTING BED MOKALE HEAL WITH CONE ANCBORY-FIG---

Long line process of casting is commonly use for member of same section

Draped position of cables can be achieved by anchors
