For the bridge deck in Problem, assume that the deck is to be just in contact with its support at the temperature of 110°F. If the deck is to be installed when the temperature is 60°F, what should the gap be between the deck and its supports?

Problem:

A bridge deck is made as one continuous concrete slab to 140 ft long at 30°F. Determine the required width of expansion joints at the ends of the bridge if no stress is to be developed when the temperature varies from +30°F to +110°F.
