Question

Why is the cement floor made in small slabs, rather than in a single block? Explain.

Answer 1

1. The cement floor is not laid as one block.
2. It is because during summer it expands.
3. In the case of a single block, there will not be any space for expansion, therefore, it will crack.
4. When the floor is laid in small blocks leaving a very small space in between the blocks.
5. This, in turn, allows expansion, and hence, the floor does not crack.
