TRRL LR 744 A method of estimating minimum and maximum effective bridge temperatures based on a geographical distribution of minimum and maximum shade temperatures over the UK is derived and compared with measurements. Where measured bridge temperatures are inadequate (i.e. for extremely low or extremely high shade temperatures), theoretical studies of bridge temperatures are used. The form …
It is shown how the magnitude of temperature differences in both concrete bridge decks and the concrete deck slabs of composite bridge decks under various depths of surfacing may be determined by using a simple modification to the method of calculation of bridge temperatures described in TRRL Report LR 561. Empirical methods are used to estimate the magnitude of temperature differences in the s…
