Abstract:To solve the problem of bridge surface cracking caused by an uneven temperature field inside and outside the web of a concrete box structure, an automatic temperature control device applied to the beam surface of a concrete box bridge in the daytime is developed. The device, hanging on the surface of the box girder webs, consists of a radiation cooling coating and a composite shape-stabilized phase change material. With reference to a bridge in Guizhou Province, finite element analysis, short-term temperature … Show more
