Abstract:
A design temperature is recommended for exposed concrete members based on studies of time lag, and attenuation within the member of exterior temperature amplitudes of different cycles. A graphical method is presented for rapid, accurate determination of isotherms, gradients, and average temperatures. Isotherms and gradients are included for typical exposed columns of both normal weight and light-weight concrete. The effects of bowing and length changes of partially exposed columns are discussed.
