An Analytical Algorithm for Determining Optimal Thin-Walled Hollow Pier Configuration with Sunlight Temperature Differences

Formulas for computing the line shape of a thin-walled hollow pier body based on structural characteristics and measured sunlight temperature difference are derived using an analytical algorithm. In a case study of the No. 5 pier of a newly constructed continuous beam bridge on a mountainous express...
