Three-dimensional finite element temperature gradient analysis in concrete bridge girders subjected to environmental thermal loads

A thermal finite element study was carried out to investigate the temperature gradients in bridges with precast concrete girders that subjected to the daily and seasonal environmental variations of solar radiation and air temperature. The proposed finite element model was used to simulate the three-...
