    Contraction Joints: -These joints are intended to control the cracks in a slab that are developed due
    to the stresses caused by moisture-related concrete shrinkage, thermal contraction, temperature warping.
    • They may be oriented transversely (i.e. perpendicular to the direction of traffic flow) or longitudinally (i.e. parallel to the direction of traffic flow).
