M4.18 (Sl units) A bridge to be fabricated of steel girders is designed to be 500 m long and 12 m wide at ambient temperature (assumed 20°C). Expansion joints will be provided to compensate for the change in length in the girders as the temperature varies. Each expansion joint can compensate for a maximum of 20 mm of change in length. From historical records it is estimated that the minimum and maximum temperatures in the region wll be-35°C and 40°C, respectively. Determine (a) the minimum number of expansion joints required. Use Table 4.1from the book for reference. Round to the nearest whole number of joints.
