Abstract/Description
-
Temperature and thermal stress variations in a segmental box girder bridge arc studied. A finite element model using the general finite element software MARC is used to predict temperature and thermal stress variation, for segmental box girder bridges. The predictions are compared with actual measured temperature data of two segmental box girder bridges, instrumented with thermocouples and vibrating wire strain gages, in Davie, Florida. Continuous monitoring was carried out for two months in...
Show moreTemperature and thermal stress variations in a segmental box girder bridge arc studied. A finite element model using the general finite element software MARC is used to predict temperature and thermal stress variation, for segmental box girder bridges. The predictions are compared with actual measured temperature data of two segmental box girder bridges, instrumented with thermocouples and vibrating wire strain gages, in Davie, Florida. Continuous monitoring was carried out for two months in July-August, 1991, and for one month in January-February, 1992. Comparison are also made with the NCHRP suggested profiles. A Monte Carlo analysis is performed to accommodate the probabilistic variation of ambient temperature conditions.
