A construction joint in concrete jobs is a joint where a fully set and hard concrete joins a fresh concrete to make a joint. Normally, cracks would occur at this joint because concrete was not cast monolithic. A contraction joint is joint between two concrete edges so formed which allows minute movement between the two edges caused by heat or some other external forces. Usually, contraction joints are also referred to as expansion joints.
