Joint width W is the final joint width of the cured concrete when
o
placed at 60 F. The width W shall be increased or decreased for
o
every 10 F temperature drop or rise respectively by t. When formed,
joint width W shall be reduced by the amount
to compensate for
the opening of the joint caused by the deflection of the beam when
the deck concrete is placed. If the joint is formed so that the form
material will not move and the joint will not open as the deck concrete is placed, then adjustment
shall not be made.
