Abstract
The thermal stress distribution of a cable-stayed footbridge is investigated in this study through numerical computation. With appropriate assumption, the temperature field of the footbridge is simplified and divided into several components. Fine finite element models are constructed for the deck plate, bridge section, and bridge tower to calculate the structural thermal stress distribution. The made observations demonstrate that the temperature induced stresses of the footbridge is substantially large, which should be taken in consideration in the maintenance process.
