Temperature actions are taken into account in the design of bridges, as temperature
variation can lead to structural deformation and stress. Accurate temperature actions values …

This study investigated the variation of the temperature distribution in the steel box girder of
a cable-stayed bridge during construction. Measured data were used to study the basic …

Precast construction projects are characterized by many activities, the involvement of
numerous parties, a lot of effort and enormous processes. Precast supply chain phases are …

This study develops a novel buckling-based mechanism to measure the thermal response of
prestressed concrete bridge girders under continuous temperature changes for structural …

Bridge codes tend to provide general guidance on the thermal gradients acting on bridge
decks based on data from historical extreme events that have occurred within a country …

As the frequency of thermal extremes gradually increases owing to climate change, the role
of thermal loads on bridge performance increasingly becomes a concern. The purpose of …

This paper investigates the distribution of the sunshine temperature field in bridge structures.
To implement thermodynamic boundary conditions on the structure under the influence of …

The use of longer and deeper precast concrete girders has created concern regarding their
rollover instability, particularly during construction. Current design and construction …

This study assessed the lateral behavior and stability of precast concrete beams under
elastomeric bearing pad conditions. The lateral instability failure of the beam occurs due to …

Improvements in concrete technology, reinforcing systems and manufacturing enable the
use of longer reinforced precast concrete girders, contributing to the competitiveness of this …
