- This is done through the use of control joints and expansion joints
- Control joints are cuts into the concrete or asphalt. The joints are cut into the structure at regular intervals allow cracking to occur in a controlled fashion. Road control joints can be sealed with hot tar or rubber
- Expansion joints are designed to allow for continuous traffic between structures accommodating movement, shrinkage, temperature variations on reinforced and pre-stressed concrete, composite and steel structures.
What else can I help you with?
How can bridges be built to deal with weather?
They have (overlapping) expansion joints that allows the span to shrink and stretch w/o forming a big gap.
When was Deal railway station created?
Deal railway station was created in 1847.
What became one of the dominant themes in the US Civil War's Western Theater?
Perhaps the experience of Union General Don Carlos Buell as he could only march slowly to Chattanooga in 1862, was to become a dominant theme in the West that Union generals had to deal with. The impediment in the West was the guerrilla raids that were constantly cutting supply and communications lines. The Union was forced to deploy thousands of troops to protect the railway lines, as one example. The Confederate raiders were aided by Tennessee sympathizers and so often the raiders easily burned down railway bridges and intercepted supplies.
Why the expansion period is not good enough?
New Deal
What are two major forces that bridges deal with?
Two major forces that bridges deal with are compression and tension. Compression forces act to push or squeeze the material together, while tension forces act to pull the material apart. Bridges are designed to distribute these forces to ensure the structure can support the weight it carries.
What is something a civil engineer would deal with?

Where can expansion joints be bought?
An expansion joint is used in construction to help deal with the effects of building materials expanding and contracting. They can be purchased through hardware stores like Home Depot.

What was the long term effects of the New Deal?

Where is the transmission oil cooler on a 2003 dodge neon?
Some radiators have the coolant lines and the trans lines going into them. So, it may be a one unit deal.
How do sidewalks deal with thermal expansion?
Sidewalks are designed with expansion joints or gaps to accommodate thermal expansion without causing damage. These gaps allow the concrete to expand and contract with temperature changes, preventing cracks and distortion in the sidewalk surface. Additionally, materials with lower thermal expansion coefficients may be used to minimize the effects of temperature fluctuations on the sidewalk.
