Transverse Thermal Response Of A Composite Bridge, Michael J. Filla
Transverse Thermal Response Of A Composite Bridge, Michael J. Filla
Masters Theses
"A two-span, composite-design, test structure was subjected to thermal loading. The resultant longitudinal and transverse response was correlated with that calculated by a prior theoretical procedure. The theoretical procedure was reconfirmed for longitudinal stress, and indicated within reasonable probability for transverse stress. No measurable diaphragm influence was observed"--Abstract, page iii.

Thermal Response Of A Composite Bridge Structure, David John Wisch
Masters Theses
"This experimental investigation was conducted as an intermediate study to verify and substantiate a prior theoretical study for possible utilization toward development of rational bridge design criteria. The objectives of the study were to construct and instrument a 15 ft - 15 ft (4.6 m- 4.6 m) two-span, composite design, laboratory structure, to subject the structure to thermal loading, and to correlate the experimental temperature distributions, strain distributions, and deflections with those obtained from the theoretical study. Infrared heat lamps were used to obtain steady-state thermal loading.
Three theoretical cases were considered for strain calculations: a) both the slab and …
