摘要：Temperature is a significant load on bridges,particularly for long-span steel box girder *** study investigates the temperature-induced static responses of a long-span suspension bridge under real service environmental conditions using numerical simulations and field *** 2 D finite element(FE)models of a typical section for the box girder,main cable,hanger,tower column,and crossbeam are *** thermal boundary conditions are determined strictly according to the surrounding environments of a typical sunny day and applied to the FE models.A transient heat-transfer analysis is performed and the time-dependent temperature and its distribution on the bridge are *** addition,a fine,3 D FE model of the bridge is developed for a structural *** calculated temperatures are applied to the 3 D model and the temperature-induced structural responses are *** simulated temperatures and the associated static responses have good agreement with the measured counterparts and support the numerical simulation *** main cable and bridge deck make the greatest contributions to the temperature effects on the suspension *** static responses of bridge caused by the design vehicle load are also *** daily variation of the temperature-induced static responses is comparable with,even higher than,that of the design vehicle load.
