I'm a little bit confused with this question, can any1 pls help? thanks in advance
A concrete sidewalk is constructed between two buildings on a day when the temperature is 25 degree celsius. The sidewalk is consists of two slabs each 3 meters in length and of negligible thickness. As the temperature rises to 38 degree celsius, the slabs expand but no space is provided for thermal expanson. The building do not move so the slabs buckle upward. determine the vertical displacement of the slabs due to buckling effect.
a=12 x 10^-6 / celsius degree
