Why are expansion joints required on a stucco wall?

What will be an ideal response?


The control joints create weakness in a stucco wall forcing it to crack there so that the cracks do not create a
haphazard pattern. The expansion joints respond to large movements in a building, such as the deflection of a
spandrel beam due to live load. Therefore, one place where expansion joints are typically provided is at the floor
level.
