How often do I need to position Movement Control Joints in masonry?
![[icon] - Answer](gfx/gfx_icon_answer.gif){kind=icon}
The nature of concrete masonry is such that it will shrink and
because of this it is necessary to accommodate movement control
joints in the building design. BS 5628-3:2005 sets out the
parameters for the positioning of control joints, and as a rule,
vertical joints to accommodate horizontal movement should be
provided at 6 to 9m intervals.
