Virtually all materials, including those used to make bridges, expand when heat and contract when cooled. Over time repeated heating and cooling can cause some materials to crack. Many large bridges account for this by having small gaps or joints that allow them to expand and contract without putting too much stress on them. Different materials have different rates of thermal expansion, so engineers have to account for this as well. During extreme heat waves some bridges have been known to buckle and deform, creating dangerous driving conditions.
What else can I help you with?
What effect temperature?
effect of temperature
At what temperature do bridges freeze?
Bridges freeze at the same temperature as roads and other surfaces, typically around 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius).
How can bridges withstand temperature changes?
by contracting and expanding
Can fixed porcelain bridges be whitened like real teeth?
No. Unlike real teeth, porcelain bridges have the color baked in, and the whitening agents have no effect on them.
Does temperature effect plastic?
yes, temperature does effect plastic if it gets to hot it can melt it.
What is the effect of temperature on the effect of evaporation?
Rapid evaporation helps reduce the temperature of water.
What does thermal expansion do?
Thermal expansion is the tendency of a material to change in shape, area, and volume in response to a change in temperature. As the temperature of a material increases, its particles vibrate more vigorously, causing the material to expand. This effect is commonly seen in objects like bridges, buildings, and train tracks.
At what temperature do bridges freeze, and what factors contribute to the freezing of bridges?
Bridges can freeze at temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Factors that contribute to the freezing of bridges include cold air temperatures, wind chill, and the bridge's exposure to precipitation such as rain or snow.
Is temperature important when calculating water's volume and weight?
No; the effect of temperature is rather small, insignificant for most purposes.No; the effect of temperature is rather small, insignificant for most purposes.No; the effect of temperature is rather small, insignificant for most purposes.No; the effect of temperature is rather small, insignificant for most purposes.
Does temperature have an effect on the rate at a physical or chemical change?
Yes, temperature have generally an important effect.
What is the green house effect's effect on the Earth's average temperature?
The Earth's mean temperature will rise.
Does temperature effect the sprouting of seeds?
yes it does effect it
