What else can I help you with?
Why there are spaces between bridges?
To allow for expansion and contraction.
Why are some bridges supported by rolles at one side?
Thermal expansion and contraction can put huge stresses into a large structure such as a bridge. To minimise this effect, the rollers are designed to allow the end of the bridge to move with the expansion and contraction.
Which things depend on expansion?
Expansion can refer to various processes, but some common things that depend on expansion include thermometers, bridges, and concrete structures. Thermometers utilize the expansion of liquids to measure temperature, while bridges and concrete structures are designed to accommodate the expansion and contraction that occurs due to changes in temperature to prevent damage.
Why are there joints in bridges?
The space at the joints is there to allow for expansion and contraction of the length of the bridge depending on the temperature.
What was the problem withn bridges made out of iron?
Expansion and contraction with changes in temperature. Rust. Weight vs. durability ratio.
What are two examples of uses of the expansion and contraction materials?
Expansion materials can be used in bridges and buildings to accommodate changes in temperature and prevent cracking. Contraction materials are commonly used in pavement construction to control the cracking caused by shrinkage as the material cools.
What problems could be caused by expansion or contraction of matter?
Expansion or contraction of matter can lead to structural damage in buildings and bridges due to increased pressure or stress. In industries, it may cause leaks in pipelines or damage to machinery. In nature, it can lead to cracks in rocks or changes in the landscape.
What are the effects of expansion and contraction in the design of bridges pavements and MRT lines?
- MRT and Railway tracksif a continuous track of metal is used, it will expand in hot weather and bent. trains running on bent tracks may be derailed. to prevent this, railway tracks are laid in sections with expansion gaps between them. A sliding joint between adjoining rails allows them to expand without bending.- bridgesboth concrete and steel bridges are built with allowance for expansion and contraction due to changes in the surrounding temperatures. Rollers and sliding joints allow for the movements of the bridges as it expands and contracts
What are some of the uses of expansion and contraction?
Expansion and contraction are commonly used in materials to accommodate temperature changes, prevent warping or cracking, and ensure structural stability. This physical property is also used in applications such as thermostats, bimetallic strips, and in the design of bridges and buildings to account for thermal variations. Additionally, expansion joints are used in infrastructure to absorb movement due to temperature changes and prevent damage.
Why is elasticity an important concept for toll bridges?
It's not. A toll bridge can be rigid. Now if you were to ask the same and omit 'toll'..... bridges depending on type, need flexibility and elasticity for contraction and expansion during changes in ambient temperature and ground movement
Does concrete expand?
yes, that is why they put expansion joints on bridges. (: your welcomeyes, that is why they put expansion joints on bridges. (: your welcome
Where are the cross bridges involved in muscle contraction?
in the terminal cisternae
