use a gap large enough to prevent pounding or to use a zero gap distance. Please refer to

Answer:-
A steel bridge expands in the summers. One of its end is fixed and the other end is made to rest on rollers with enough space for expansion. This allows the bridge to expand easily without taking any damage.
