Thermal Stress Analysis in Continuous Rigid Frame Bridges Using Finite Element Modeling
Introduction Thermal actions play a critical role in the long-term safety and durability of modern bridge structures, particularly continuous rigid frame bridges constructed with prestressed concrete box girders. Daily temperature variations, solar radiation, and environmental exposure create complex temperature gradients that induce internal stresses, often leading to cracking and reduced service life if not properly…
