To allow for expansion. Differences in temperature cause the materials to either shrink or expand. With constant shrinking and expanding occurring, the materials would crack or break down if there wasn't any allowance for movement. Gaps compensate for the weight of the load crossing vehicles cause. Constant load may cause a bridge to exceed its maximum shear capacity. Gaps also serve as this allowance for movement caused by both temperature and weight.
What else can I help you with?
How might a scientist use a model to test a new airplane design?
Engineers put very accurate models of new airplanes in wind tunnels to see how aerodynamic they are.
How do bridges stand?
engineers have to find the right area to build a bridge that is strong enough to support the weight and things from mother nature. The long columns are then put into place above the water, then sunk.
Is it easier to put on braces if you have gaps?
yes you should get braces for gaps
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
What is tesalation?
Tessellation: to form or arrange patterns of shapes in a layout that leaves no gaps or overlays. So basically, its a series of shapes that are put together leaving no gaps or any overlaps. for example, lots of squares put together would leave no gaps but a circle wouldn't work because if you put them together they leave gaps.
How do you connect hamster tunnels to hamster cages?
1. unplug side plug (it is usually a half circle on the plastic side thing connecting the wire front and back things) 2. take plastic tunnel and put it where the plastic plug was 3. connect other tunnels using rubber thing that should come with tunnel 4. MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO GAPS OR YOU WILL FIND YOUR HAMSTER OUT OF THE CAGE 5. MAKE SURE THERE IS AN ENDING TO THE TUNNELS. it could round back INTO the cage or it cut off using plug.
What do you put on a job application if you you have gaps in between jobs?
Forget the gaps, just list the jobs, and the times you worked at them.
What could be put around a castle to stop tunnels being made?
