How to apply temperature loads in a steel composite bridge deck having variable depth girders?
Answer:
The beam section temperature could be used to assign the temperature loads. I believe in this case you must be talking about non-linear temperature load.
Reference could be provided from top as well as bottom. Hence, the flare is automatically considered. The width could also be automatically considered from section definition.
