I am looking to finally do my concrete floor for my IHC enginehouse...

My question is how far apart do I set my simulated expansion joints from each other? Remember it's an IHC enginehouse which is based on buildings from the 1930's to the 1940's. thanks iun advance for you

I generally make it eight to ten feet.  I recall being around some heavy concrete stuff my uncles were doing in the '50s, and that that was what they use.  

 

But I vary it slightly, so that all the sections are the same width: usually if I were to make it, say exactly eight feet, I might have three feet left over for a final section, or ten feet, I might have seven feet left, etc.  So I try to stick between those two and find a width where I make them all the same width.  I realize that is not how it always worked out int he real world, but it looks better on my layout.
