11. Concrete Joints Crack in the sidewalk. I don’t really know why there is a crack here. The control joints seem to be in the right place. The crack must have been caused by the ground shifting or something. Isolation joints are used to relieve flexural stresses due to vertical movement of slab-on-grade applications that adjoin fixed foundation elements such as columns, building or machinery foundations, bridge abutments, light standards, drop inlets, and so on. The isolation joint material allows the slab-on-grade to move up or down with the changes of soil support conditions.
