Hello,
Please refer to the attached image of storm water drain section.
The image shows a section of storm water drain which has running length of around 1000ft. My question is since it is a water tight structure, how can I provide movement joints it? Providing a contraction joint at every 10ft length with waterstop doesn't sound practical to me (your opinion?). Can I omit movement joints here without any cracks? I need guidance in this regard. Thanks in advance.
