calculate the maximum stress at corner of 4600 kg wheel load is applied on cement concrete pavement of thickness is 180mm?
A concrete pavement is constructed at a temperature of 10°C. The peak summer temperature is 30°C. The coefficient of temperature is 10 x 10^- 6/°C. The gap at the expansion joint is 2.5 cm. The spacing of expansion joint is what.
Q- The width of the expansion joint is 20mm in a cement concrete pavement. The laying temperature is 20 °C and the maximum slab temperature in summer is 60 °C. The coefficient of thermal expansion of concrete is 10 x 10-6 mm/mm/ °C and the joint filler compresses upto 50% of the thickness. Find the spacing between expansion joints.
