A pavement having no transverse joints, except tied construction joints which are placed between successive days’ concreting, with sufficient longitudinal reinforcement, adequately lapped to develop tensile continuity.
A continuously supported tank is one in which all positions around the circumference are supported in an identical manner. minor departures from this condition (e.g. a small opening) need not affect the applicability of the definition
Transmission system in which the speed ratio of driving to driven elements is infinitely variable over the required working range, or is varied over a very large number of fixed ratios. also constantly variable transmission,
An automatic transmission that uses two variable-diameter pulleys and a steel belt to continuously alter its gear ratio. this provides smooth power delivery and allows the engine to operate at the optimum speed for any given driving condition.
