Factors Analysis on the Temperature Field of PC Box-Girder Bridge

Abstract:

Based on the Nenjiang Bridge located in the Qi-Gan expressway and using the finite element software ANSYS, we analysis the influences of solar radiation, free air temperature, inside temperature, wind speed, thermal conductivity of concrete, section height, flange plate length and bridge pavement on the temperature field of PC box-girder in this paper. And the solar radiation, thermal conductivity of concrete and bridge pavement is presented as the leading factors for the temperature field of PC box-girder.
