Allow free expansion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>An expansion joint is a structural joint that allows for movement between two adjacent parts of a structure. In the case of rigid pavements, expansion joints are used to allow for the expansion and contraction of the pavement due to changes in temperature. Without expansion joints, the pavement would be subjected to stresses that could cause it to crack.<\/p>\n<p>Option A is incorrect because warping stresses are caused by the uneven heating and cooling of the pavement. Expansion joints do not relieve warping stresses.<\/p>\n<p>Option B is incorrect because shrinkage stresses are caused by the drying and shrinking of the pavement. Expansion joints do not relieve shrinkage stresses.<\/p>\n<p>Option C is incorrect because expansion joints do not resist stresses due to expansion. In fact, expansion joints allow for the free expansion of the pavement, which helps to relieve stresses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Relieve warping stresses&#8221; option2=&#8221;Relieve shrinkage stresses&#8221; option3=&#8221;Resist stresses due to expansion&#8221; option4=&#8221;Allow free expansion&#8221; correct=&#8221;option4&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[652],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-highway-engineering","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The function of an expansion joint in rigid pavements is to A.
