Lecture 29 Temperature Steel Requirements       Temperature
steel is used in concrete pavements to control       cracks that
naturally occur. The basic approach used is based on       a
summing of forces where the resistance force of the concrete
and temperature steel is set equal to the friction force that
develops between the slab and the soil             Longitudinal
and transverse steel                   Friction force -
English units with                  h in inches and f = the
friction factor = 1.5                  Concrete force - Fconc 

Assume the force carried by concrete is zero and the
steel force is set equal to the friction force and solved
for L (the length between joints) the result is
For example with                        h=9 in
