THE SPACING OF EXPANSION JOINTS IN CONCRETE PAVEMENT IS STILL A HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECT AND DIFFERENT COUNTRIES FOLLOW WIDELY DIFFERENT PRACTICES. AN ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE IN THIS PAPER TO ANALYZE THE DIFFERENT PARAMETERS INVOLVED AND PRESENT A METHOD TO CALCULATE THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE SPACING OF EXPANSION JOINTS.
