Hello, I have a question about a project we will be working on. In a project to be built as B+z+14 or 15 floors, the building length is around 50m from end to end. Ts500 6.3.4 de
. Here I am told not to make it longer than 40m, but it is said that the joint spacing can be increased up to 60m in frame-type structures that are protected against temperature changes and do not have rigid curtains at the ends, but there will be curtains at many points in the project in question. What are the specific measures specified as these limits can be exceeded provided that calculations that take into account time-dependent behavior or special measures that reduce shrinkage are taken. In short, can I build a 50m long building without dilatation? If I can, what arguments should I present to the municipality? Thanks in advance.6.3.4 - Expansion, Contraction and Creep Effects Considering the temperature changes and shrinkage effects, expansion joints should be arranged in the superstructure in hyperstatic structures with long lengths. In structures exposed to external influences, joint spacing should not exceed 40 m. In frame-type structures that are protected against temperature changes and do not have rigid curtains at the ends, the joint spacing can be increased up to 60 m. These limits can be exceeded provided that calculations taking into account time-dependent behavior are made or special measures are taken to reduce shrinkage. In non-symmetrical systems and systems with rigid vertical elements on both sides that prevent lateral displacements despite being symmetrical, care should be taken to keep the block sizes between the joints smaller
