How much would a concrete roadway slab that is 10 in, thick by 12 ft. wide and 60 ft. long undergo when its temperature rises from O deg F to 50 deg F as it warms up one sunny winter day? ? 8 x 10-6 in/in/degF,

Solution

Solution:-

Given

L = 60 feet

T₂ – T₁ = 50 – 0 = 50 degree F

? = 8 *10^-6 in/in/(degree F)

We know that

? = L * ? *(T₂ – T₁ )

? = 60 * 8*10^-6 * (50)

? = 0.024 feet

? = 0.288 inch   Answer
