What is a control joint and how does it differ from an expansion joint?

What will be an ideal response?


A control joint is provided in components where most of the early movement (immediately after the construction of the component) takes place due to the shrinkage of the component. Therefore, a control joint is also called a shrinkage joint. An expansion joint is provided in components, where the early movement is due to the expansion of the component.
