Traditional Construction joints are considered worldwide as the Achilles heel of concreteslab placement (roads, airports, industrial and commercial floors). Concrete slabs-on-grade are subject to differentinternal and external forces and pressures. Joint deterioration occurs through load bearing weight transferring fromone side of the Joint to the other causing micro-shocks at the point of load cycle. In summary, a true constructionjoint must allow relative horizontal transition which is typically due to the thermal expansion and contraction orhumidity induced shrinkage. At the same time it must not allow relative vertical transition and relative rotation dueto traffic movement and load bearing weights.
