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.

Not in 40m, it is provided just 25 to 30 m length when the length of masnory work is more than 100m.

According to IS 3414: 1968.
Cl no. 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.

It is not 40 m i.e. 45 m. When the length is more than 45 m we provide an expansion joint for safety.

Why is it 40 m?
