Assessment on Time-Varying Thermal Loading of Engineering Structures Based on a New Solar Radiation Model
This paper aims to carry out the condition assessment on solar radiation model and thermal loading of bridges. A modification factor is developed to change the distribution of solar intensities during a whole day. In addition, a new solar radiation model for civil engineering structures is proposed...
