Types of joints in concrete constructions are:
1,Construction Joints
2,Expansion Joints
3,Contraction Joints
4,Isolation Joints
1,construction joint :-
A separation provided in a building that allows its component parts to move with respect to each other; a joint where two placements of concrete meet.
2,An expansion joint or movement joint:-
is an assembly designed to safely absorb the heat-induced expansion and contraction of construction materials, to absorb vibration, to hold parts together, or to allow movement due to ground settlement or earthquakes
3,A control joint or contraction
joint :-
is a joint that is put in the concrete to control cracking. For example, when they sawcut joints into the concrete pavement, these are control joints.
4,Isolation and expansion joints
accommodate anticipated differential horizontal and vertical movements that occur between a pavement and a structure. Their purpose is to allow movement without damaging adjacent structures .
