concrete slabs are 9meters long. How wide should the expansion gaps be at 18degrees Celsius so that there will be no contact between adjacent slabs over a range of -25degrees Celsius to 43degrees?

Assume all temperatures to be exact, and neglect significant figures for small changes in dimension.

WE NEED THE LINEAR EXPANSION COEFICIENT OF THE STEEL INSIDE THE CONCRETE WHICH WILL EXPAND WITH TEMPERATURE CHANGES BEFORE WE CAN ANSWER YOU DIRECTLY.
