Experimental and analytical investigations of the thermal behavior of prestressed concrete bridge girders including imperfections
An experimental and analytical study was conducted on a BT-63 prestressed concrete girder to investigate the thermal effects on the girder. A 2D finite element heat transfer analysis model was then developed which accounted for heat conduction, convection, radiation, and irradiation. The solar rad...
