The frequently conventional assumption that bridge temperature is uniformly distributed on long-span bridges could lead to uncertainty when analyzing effects. This study investigated the surface of steel box girders a suspension bridge, emphasizing distribution characteristics in longitudinal (spanwise) direction. girder was monitored using long-term structural health monitoring system (SHMS). ...

ABSTRACT: Bridges are structures built to overcome obstacles and allow continuity of transport routes. In the search for efficient construction systems, steel-concrete composite structures, especially box girder bridges, emerged. The American AASHTO European EN 1994-2-2 standards present design procedures this type bridge, but there still doubts about which portion concrete slab contributes eac...
