Concrete, like most materials, expands and contracts with the temperature. The gaps allow the surface to do so without cracking.

Why is important to place gaps at regular intervals in sidewalks?
To prevent sidewalks from cracking in random spots and breaking apart, builders make lines in sidewalks. The technical term for sidewalk lines is contraction joints. Contraction joints are placed in fresh concrete before the concrete dries and has a chance to create its own joints, which we call cracks.
What are synaptic gaps?
Synaptic gaps are the spaces between neurons.
Does granite have Gaps between the Grains?
No. Granite does not have gaps between the grains. The crystals in an intrusive igneous rock are interlocking.
Why are sidewalks constructed with spaces between the sections?
to stop it from flooding
What is the property of matter where it changes volume when it changes temperature?
The property of solids in which they enlarge when warmed is thermal expansion. The opposite, shrinking when cooled, is thermal contraction. This property greatly effects how bridges, sidewalks, and concrete roads are made. They all have "expansion gaps," gaps between sections that allow the sections to expand in the heat of summer. Without those, the concrete would break and the bridges would warp and bend.
What is the function of the gaps at the railway?
It depends which gaps you mean! Older track was laid in discrete sections with gaps left between them to allow for expansion on hot days. There are gaps between rails at the points which are used to connect different tracks together in turn. Is this what you mean?
When temperature rises what will happen to the gaps between the concrete sections?
when the tempreture rises the gaps between the concrete pavement will expand because of the heat.
When the temperature rises what will happen to the gaps between the concrete sections?
when the tempreture rises the gaps between the concrete pavement will expand because of the heat.
Why is it that railways tracks laid with gaps in between their end?
The gaps between rails allow for expansion from heat. The space for expansion prebents buckling.
Why do roads have the gaps between the large pieces of concrete?
They are expansion gaps that allow for the expansion and contraction of the concrete.
Large gaps between words?
