What is Construction Joints in Concrete Structures about?

Construction joints occur where successive concrete placements meet. They are needed to accommodate construction sequencing and should be located to minimize effects on structural strength and durability. Properly executed construction joints with adequate shear transfer through reinforcement continuity or a roughened interface can achieve flexural continuity and strength similar to monolithic concrete, while joints in regions of high shear may reduce shear strength. The ACI code requires construction joint
