Abstract | In the design of bridges, it is important to consider the thermal stresses induced by the non-linear temperature distribution as well as the variation of effective temperature in the bridge deck. To cope with this, design temperature profiles are provided by design codes, which are normally based on extensive research work. This paper presents the results of a comprehensive investigation on the thermal behaviour of steel bridges in Hong Kong. The temperature distribution in bridges depends primarily on the solar radiation, ambient air temperature and wind speed in the vicinity. Apart from data of the meteorological factors, good estimates of the thermal properties of material and the film coefficients are necessary for the prediction of temperature distribution. The analytical results have been validated by temperature measurements on experimental models on campus as well as on an existing steel bridge. Both the theoretical and field results confirm the validity of the one-dimensional heat transfer model on which most design codes are based. Values of design thermal loading for a 50-year return period are determined from the statistics of extremes over 40 years of meteorological information in Hong Kong. The design temperature profiles for various types of steel bridge deck with different thickness of bituminous surfacing are proposed. The factors affecting the design effective temperature are also reviewed and suitable values for Hong Kong are proposed. Results are compared with recommendations of the local code. |
