The concrete sections of a certain superhighway are designed to have a length of 23.0 m. The sections are poured and cured at 10.0 c. What minimum spacing should the engineer leave between the sections to eliminate buckling if the concrete is to reach a temperature of 59.0°C7 (Note: If applicable, use this table to solve the problem.) cm
