Expansion joint in a road bridge used to avoid damage from thermal expansion. Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in shape, area, and/or volume in response to a change in temperature, through heat transfer. Temperature is a monotonic function of the average molecular kinetic energy of a substance. When a substance is heated, the kinetic energy of its molecules increases.
