Thermal Stress Analysis of Continuous Rigid Frame Bridges Using Finite Element Methods
Introduction Continuous rigid frame bridges play a vital role in modern transportation networks, especially in long-span highway infrastructure. However, these structures are highly sensitive to environmental temperature variations, which can generate thermal stresses capable of reducing structural durability and service life. Recent civil engineering research has focused on understanding how temperature gradients influence stress distribution…
