Why is it that concrete roads are laid in sections with pitch between them?
Concrete roads are laid in sections with joints or pitch to accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of the material due to temperature changes. These joints prevent cracking and structural damage by allowing the concrete to move without restraint. Additionally, the sections facilitate maintenance and repair, as damaged segments can be replaced without affecting the entire road. This design enhances the longevity and durability of the pavement.
