A slab of concrete used in highway construction is set in place when the ambient temperature is 20 degrees celsius. If its length at that time is 20.478m, calculate the minimum gap required between concrete slabs if buckling is to be prevented. Assume the maximum temperature that will be reached is 55 degrees celsius.
