Question 4

Joints placed in concrete pavements, which are usually placed transversely, at regular intervals, to provide adequate expansion space for the slab to expand when the pavement is subjected to an increase in temperature.

Answer 4

Expansion Joint

Question 5

Joints placed in concrete pavements, which are usually placed transversely, at regular intervals, across the width of the pavement to release some of the tensile stresses that are induced due to a decrease in temperature.

Answer 5

Contraction Joint

Question 6

Joints placed in concrete pavements, which are usually placed transversely across the pavement width to provide suitable transition between concrete placed at different times or on different days.
