It's based on IS3414:1968 (Reaffirmed 2000).

Clause 3 Installation of Expansion Joint in Walls.

Sub Clause 6.3.1 In brick or stone masonry expansion joints normally need not be necessary, except in the case of long walls exceeding 30 m in length; in such long walls, the expansion joints shall be not less than 15 mm wide and shall be spaced not more than 30 m apart.

In brick masonry or stone masonry, it is provided at the expansion joint of 25M to 30M. It is the correct expansion space at a longer wall.

Madhusudan said:   9 years ago
It is not 40 m i.e. 45 m. When the length is more than 45 m we provide an expansion joint for safety.

Manoj said:   8 years ago
Not in 40m, it is provided just 25 to 30 m length when the length of masnory work is more than 100m.

According to Clause 6.3.1, IS Code:3414-1968.

30 m will be the answer.
