Abstract

Under sunshine action the concrete box girder will generate temperature gradient load which will lead the temperature stress in the structure. But the sunshine temperature gradient load type and value for concrete structure are slightly different in specifications worldwide. Long-term Observe the sunshine temperature gradient load for a concrete box girder located in central china. Analyze the temperature gradient load observed and stipulated by codes worldwide. Results show, there is certain difference between values and types of sunshine temperature gradient load stipulated by specification of each nation. Suggested that, the temperature gradient standard value of concrete box girder should be different fetch according the characteristics of regions and climate.
