(differences in temperature cause the materials to either shrink or expand. With a lot of
shrinking and expanding occurring, these materials would crack or break down if there
wasn't any allowance for the movement. Also these gaps are used to compensate for the
weight of the load crossing vehicles which presses the bridge to its maximum shear
capacity. The gaps serve as this allowance for movement in terms of both temperature and
weight.
