Chapter 18, Problem 14EAP
A concrete bridge is built of 325-cm-long concrete slabs with an expansion joint between them. The slabs just touch on a 115°F day, the hottest day for which the bridge is designed. What is the gap between the slabs when the temperature is 0°F?

A steel rod 30.0 m long, installed when the temperature was 10°C, is in a bridge that heats up to 40oC on a hot summer day. Steel's coefficient of linear expansion is 1.2 × 10-5 K-1. The bridge is built so the rod has an expansion space of 5 cm. Is this enough space? What is the increase in the length of the rod, in mm?
You want to insert an aluminum rod, which at 20.0°C has a radius of1.000200 cm into a steel tube which has a radius of 1.000100 cm at the same temperature. You decide to put both of them in the refrigerator. At what temperature will the rod just fit if both are cooled to the same temperature? The coefficient of thermal expansion for aluminum is 2.4 × 10^-5 K^-1, and that of steel is1.2 × 10^-5 K^-1.
A concrete road surface consists of 15-m long sections separated by gaps to allow for thermal expansion as the weather changes. suppose the expected road surface temperatures vary during the year from a low of -15 degrees Celsius to a high of 45 degrees Celsius. (Note: On a sunny day, road surface temperatures can be much higher than air temperatures.) The road is designed so that there remains a 2.0 mm gap between sections on the hottest day. What is the gap on the coldest day?
