Construction joints should be provided in slabs and beams at locations where it is necessary to stop pouring concrete temporarily and resume later. These joints are typically located at points of minimum shear and bending moment to ensure the structural integrity of the slab or beam. They should be planned keeping in mind the structural design and construction sequence to avoid any stress concentrations or discontinuities. Additionally, joints should be properly sealed and reinforced to ensure durability and prevent any further movement or cracking.

What is plank and beam construction?
Plank and beam is typically referred to as post and beam. This type of construction is used a large percentage of the time for new home construction. It is used in colder climates more than warmer climates because you have the ability to insulate under the floor of the house. In warmer climates slab floor construction is used more than it would be used in colder climates. There is another type of construction that is used but not as often. It is called the joist system. This is the way Post and Beam construction works. A vertical member (post) is set on concrete pads, about 8 feet apart. The horizontal member(beam) is set on the posts. The spacing between the beams are typically 4 feet apart. The end of the beams are placed in beam pockets that have been designed into the foundation. Then 2"x6" or 2"x8" tongue and grove planks are placed perpendicular on the beams to create the floor. In slab construction you pour a concrete floor between the footing and foundation. A joist system uses 2x material to span between two points and tie into a ledger board using metal hangers. This system is used for decks more often and the 2nd and 3rd floors of homes.
What is an i-beam?
I-beams are divided into ordinary I-beams, light I-beams and H-beams. I-beams are mainly used in crossbeam construction. Shanghai Changzheng produces I-beam, if you are interested in I-beam, welcome to consult with our company.
What is the purpose of camber in steel beam?
Camber is the amount of deflection provided in the opposite direction of loadings. That is when the beam is subjected to Vertical downward loadings, the beam has a tendency of deflecting downwards. In this case, camber value is to be given in the upward direction so that when it is fully loaded condition, the beam would have almost zero deflection. Similarly, when the beam is subjected to vertical upward loadings, the camber value is to be given in downward direction. The purpose of camber in steel beam is to have almost zero deflection w.r.t.o beam axis after loading of beam as highlighted earlier. by R.Ravichandran, Chennai-49

How do you provide expansion joint in slab beam construction 75 meters in length?
The purpose of expansion joint , is to anticipate movement of structure due to temperature, earthquake,settlement. In 75 mtrs length of slabs we can make expansion joint in L/2 or 75/ 2 or L/ 3 for every 25 mtrs , we provide bearing Pads for movement. , actually this also name as movement joint.
