Title:

SIMPLIFIED DESIGN CHECK OF THERMAL STRESSES IN COMPOSITE HIGHWAY BRIDGES

Accession Number:

Abstract:

A SIMPLE FORMULA INTENDED FOR USE AS A DESIGN CHECK OF THERMAL STRESSES IN SIMPLY SUPPORTED COMPOSITE HIGHWAY BRIDGES IS DESCRIBED. IT IS BASED ON A SERIES OF FIELD TESTS OF VARIOUS BRIDGES RANGING IN SPAN FROM 47 FT 3 IN. TO 71 FT 5 IN. THE FORMULA RELATES THE THERMAL STRESS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GIRDER TO THE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE SLAB AND THE DEPTH OF THE BRIDGE. /AUTHOR/
