Intersection details should always be included in construction plans. A proper
jointing layout ensures that cracking occurs at locations where load transfer exists
(contraction joints) and away from wheel paths (longitudinal joints). The jointing
detail should be a separate detail in the plan to eliminate confusion and allow field
personnel to easily lay out the intersection without construction delay. Figures 3.4 and 3.5
show jointing layouts that have been used for typical intersections.
