description In situ monitoring was conducted throughout the construction period to investigate the abnormal deformation of a bridge under construction subjected to sudden cooling by Typhoon Lekima. An FE model considering the temperature field based on measurement data was also established to reveal the exact causes of the bridge’s abnormal deformation and provide theoretical guidance for rehabilitation measures. The FE model simulation and measurement results showed that (1) the exact cause of the abnormal deformation of the bridge was the inconsistency of the temperature field between the top and bottom plates, and the sudden approach of the typhoon aggravated the inconsistency; (2) the abnormal deformation of the construction bridge caused by the typhoon could be addressed with rehabilitation before forming the bridge; (3) an extreme temperature field should be considered in the design of a beam–arch combination bridge. These results can provide a reference for the design and construction of similar bridges.
