How do expansion joints in a sidewalk keep the concrete from cracking?
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.
What percentage does water expand when heated?
0%
What is distortion in welding?
it moves Because almost all Elements expand when heated and contract when cooled. As you are welding the metal at that location is trying to expand because of the heat. Ahead of the weld area the metal isn't moving. Behind the weld area the metal is trying to contract as it cools. If the whole weld could be heated at once it would expand then contract at the same rate without distortion.
Does concrete expand?

Does concrete expand on hot days?
A little bit, but not much. If it is really hot, and then really cold, then your cement will crack.
What happens to concrete when it is heated up?
When concrete is heated up, the moisture trapped inside can turn into steam and cause the concrete to expand rapidly, leading to cracking and spalling. The heat can also cause the concrete to lose its strength and structural integrity. Ultimately, if the temperature is high enough, the concrete can undergo thermal spalling and disintegrate.

Oil does expand when heated and contracts when cooled.
Does matter expand or contract when it is heated?

When a concrete road is put down black asphalt stripes are placed between sections of the concrete to?
Prevent or reduce cracking of the concrete due to thermal expansion. Most materials expand when heated and contract when cooled. The strips are usually a fibrous material that allows the concrete expand and contract without breaking. Without those strips, random and irregular cracks would occur.
What happens to matter when heated?
When matter is heated it will expand
What expands when its heated?
Most substances expand when heated.
Does matter expand or contract when it's heated?
Expand
What material allows concrete sections to expand on bridges?
Material such as wood allow the concrete to expand
Do all objects expand when heated?
No, not all objects expand when heated. Most objects do expand when heated, but there are exceptions such as water between 0°C and 4°C, which contracts when heated. The expansion or contraction of an object when heated depends on its material properties.
Would wood expand when it is heated?
Wood would expand about 0.3 millimeters if heated to 100 degrees
How tar is useful in concrete roads?
Because the concrete will expand and the tar will become soft. So the concrete has room to expand. With out cracking.
