A little bit, but not much. If it is really hot, and then really cold, then your cement will crack.
the metal or concrete might expand if it gets too hot and compress when it gets too cold.
The expansion joint in a sidewalk keeps the concrete from cracking just as what its called. It allows the concrete to expand when heated and contract when cold. Without the joint, the concrete will crack and become uneven or mountain up.
It is the grade of concrete which indicates the strength of concrete after 28 days curing. M #) means the strength of concrete after 28 days of curing will be 30 N/mm2 .
You should wait a minimum of 28 days before you seal concrete. If you pour your concrete in summer, than a minimum of 14 days is acceptable. If you seal concrete any quicker, there is a chance moisture will be trapped inside.
curing time of concrete 14-28 days
No. a gas does not expand on a hot day because all of the chemicals compress in order to keep it the size and shape
A concrete patio usually cracks due to heat cold. If it is to cold it contract and break. If it is to hot it will expand and break. Then water can seep into those cracks and freeze causing the crack to expand
The concrete bridge would expand when exposed to sunlight on a very hot day due to the heat causing the material to increase in size. As the concrete absorbs heat, the molecules within the material move faster and take up more space, leading to expansion.
Material such as wood allow the concrete to expand
Because the concrete will expand and the tar will become soft. So the concrete has room to expand. With out cracking.

Everything expands when it gets hot, contracts when cold including air molecules...tires expand just from the heat of driving down the road as well
It is a concrete bridge so has no need to expand.
They do not expand equally, therefore the aluminium might crack the concrete on a hot day (or vice versa) due to this difference in expansion. i.e steel rods can be used to reinforce concrete because both materials expand equally.
An "expansion joint" is a joint left in between sections of the same material, like concrete or steel, that allows movement as the material heats up or cools down. Without it, concrete, for example, can expand and crack in hot temperature.
Because if you heat a gas (the air in the tyre) without letting it expand the pressure will rise.
