| Keywords: | bridge design, concrete bridges, cracking, girder bridges, load and resistance factor design, prestressed concrete, temperature, temperature gradients, thermal conductivity |
The objective of this research is to compare measured temperature variations with predicted temperature variations in accordance to the AASHTO LRFD Specifications. Differences between the two sources will be quantified. In addition, the effect of temperature variations on prestressed concrete girder design will be summarized.
