Temperature Effect on the Thermal Expansion Coefficient of Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is typically assumed to be constant in RC bridge design. In fact, under freezing temperatures, the CTE of concrete exhibits hysteretic nonlinear response, which, however, is rarely ...
Effect of Climate Change on Thermal Loads in Concrete Box Girders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Throughout their service life, bridges are exposed to ambient actions and environmental influences such as wind, thermal, and snow loads. Bridge design for environmental actions is currently based on observed, historical ...
