It is the engineer's responsibility to provide direction regarding use of movement joints.  The mason should not be providing joints that interrupt structural continuity without direction from the engineer.

I recieved a plan check on a cmu retaining wall that I designed asking to provide a detail for rebar placement for expansion joints. I realize that on long walls expansion joints should be used, but as far as specifying them on structural drawings, shouldn't that be the job of the mason? I looked in the UBC and I couldn't find any info about this. Has anyone come across this before?

 

Thanks
