[Free Tools] Why Make Eurocode 1 Harder? Simplify Project Mapping with Better Tools

midasBridge TeamDecember 19, 2024

Eurocode Bridge Tips & Tutorials MOTIVE Tool

Understanding Eurocode 1: Actions on Structures and the Role of Temperature Data

🗺️ A Personal Experience: Navigating Isothermal Maps

 

I still vividly remember the first time I had to determine the maximum and minimum air shade temperatures using the UK National Annex. My project site was situated between London and Brighton, and I turned to the isothermal maps for guidance. However, finding the exact location on the map turned out to be a surprisingly daunting task. The maps, embedded in a PDF file, lacked the precision and interactivity we've come to expect in the 21st century.

 

To my disbelief, this antiquated process had remained unchanged for decades. Pinpointing a project's location on a static 2D map was inefficient and error-prone. Like many engineers, I felt frustrated by the lack of modern tools to streamline this essential part of the design process. This frustration ultimately led me to develop a solution: the Maps of Isotherms tool, a more accurate, convenient, and intelligent way to handle temperature data.

 

Introduction

 

Now, we are focusing on our new Tool. For engineers working with Eurocode, every provision and note holds significance. Among the codes, 🔗Eurocode 1: Actions on Structures is essential for load assessment and is fundamental to structural design. This code enhances design efficiency by allowing engineers to apply its parts based on specific project needs selectively.

 

One essential aspect of Eurocode is the 🔗National Annex. Engineers must project the National Annex for localized guidelines depending on the project's location. While the annex provides sufficient information for design purposes, extracting precise details can be time-consuming. A case in point is the Map series. Through this blog, MIDAS will introduce three Map series. The first is "Maps of Isotherms,” the second is "🔗Seismic Hazard Map," and the last is the "Fundamental Basic Wind Velocity Map." We'll talk about the "Maps of Isotherms" in EN 1991-1-5, which addresses thermal actions in this blog. These maps are crucial for evaluating temperature data for structural design but often require meticulous interpretation.

 

Introducing the Maps of Isotherms Tool

 

The Maps of Isotherms tool is a modern solution that simplifies temperature data extraction. Designed to feel as intuitive as everyday map applications, it revolutionizes how engineers interact with isothermal maps.

 

🤔 How It Works

1. Input Your Project Location: Type in your project's address or click directly on the map.
2. View Temperature Data: Instantly retrieve your location's maximum and minimum shade air temperatures.
3. Visualize Isothermal Areas: The tool provides a color-coded visualization of isothermal zones, making it easy to interpret temperature gradient tools.

With this Tool, engineers can bypass the cumbersome task of manually analyzing static maps, saving time and effort.

 

🤔How to use it?

 

1. Search methods: a. Select the map directly, b: Enter the address

2. Select Standards: currently provides Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, Ireland, and United Kingdom National Annex.

3. Convert the maximum and minimum temperature contour maps.

4. Check the maximum and minimum values.

 

Maps of Isotherms

 

Applying Temperature Data in Structural Design

 

When do engineers use temperature data? Temperature plays a crucial role in the design of fixed-supported structures, 🔗long-span bridges, high-rise buildings, and more. Here's a brief overview of how temperature data is used in the design process:

 

1. Collect Temperature Data

Gather climate data for the design area, including maximum and minimum temperatures. This information serves as the foundation for thermal load calculations.


2. Calculate Thermal Stress

Calculate the thermal stress acting on the structure using temperature changes and the material's coefficient of thermal expansion. This step ensures that the structure can handle temperature-induced deformations.


3. Verify Structural Stability

Analyze the deformation and stress caused by thermal loads to confirm the structure's stability. This evaluation ensures the design meets safety and performance standards.


Streamlining the Process with Advanced Tools

 

With technological advancements, engineers no longer need to rely on outdated methods for temperature data analysis. Modern tools simplify the data collection process and provide additional capabilities for subsequent steps in the design process.

 

🔜 Upcoming Features

A 🔗Uniform Temperature Load in Structure and 🔗Temperature Gradient Calculation Toolwill soon be available. This Tool will:

  • Covert uniform temperature load from changed temperature.
  • Compute self-equilibrium stress based on section dimensions.
  • Allow engineers to handle thermal loads with greater efficiency and accuracy.

 

By integrating these tools into their workflow, engineers can focus on innovation and design rather than time-consuming manual calculations.

 

Conclusion

 

Eurocode 1991-1-5 provides the essential framework for structural design, and temperature data is a vital part of this process. While traditional methods of working with isothermal maps have been cumbersome, tools like the Maps of Isotherms and the upcoming load calculator transform how engineers approach thermal analysis.

These tools empower engineers to access precise data, streamline calculations, and ensure their designs are both safe and efficient. We can take a significant step forward in modernizing structural engineering practices by embracing these advancements.

📢 To check the entire series, click here

 

2. BS EN 1991-1-5:2003

 

(1) Vertical temperature components with non-linear effects

   In BS EN, the temperature gradient load for bridges is described in section 6.1.4.2, "Vertical temperature components with non-linear effects (Approach 2)," of BS EN 1991-1-5. The load is specified differently depending on the type of bridge deck, which can be steel, composite, or concrete.

   In addition to these rules, the magnitude of the temperature gradient load also varies depending on the thickness of the pavement and the height of the structure. This information is provided in Appendix B of BS EN.

 

BS EN 1991-1-5 Annex B

 

   It should be noted that the temperature gradient load provided in BS EN is inherently more complex than that of AASHTO LRFD, and there are several errors and incomplete parts, making it difficult to calculate the load.

   Therefore, let's look at BS 5400-2:2006 together, and determine the correction and load calculation method for it.

   For reference, the latest information on this load can be found in CS 454 - Assessment of highway bridges and Structures provided by DMRB (Design Manual Road Bridge).

 

Type 1: Steel deck

The steel deck provides 4 types of load depending on the girder shape and temperature. The temperature based on thickness is divided into three categories: unsurfaced, 20mm, and 40mm.

Problem

  • In the case of 1b, the temperature according to the surfacing thickness is not provided.

Modification

  • In BS 5400-2, 1b is separated into group 2, and a table showing temperature changes according to surfacing thickness is provided, so it should be applied accordingly.

 

BS EN 1991-1-5 Figure 6.2a & Annex B Table B.1

 

BS 5400-2 Figure 9 & Annex C Table C.1a & C.1b

 

Type 2: Composite deck

The composite deck has a total of four different temperature gradient load categories which are divided based on Normal/Simplified procedures and temperature effects. Additionally, ten sets of temperature gradient loads are provided taking into account the variation of surfacing thickness according to the height of the slab.

Problem

  • In "Heating", it is expressed as "h2" and is applied across the entire cross-section.

  • In Cooling, the lengths for h1 and h2 are missing.

  • Regarding T2, although the diagram shows 4℃/-8℃ for a 100mm surfacing, no table is provided for other conditions.

  • There is no table provided for slab depth and pavement thickness in the Simplified Procedure.

Modification

  • Heating insets are replaced with those of BS 5400-2.

  • The length is applied in the same way as heating.

  • T2 uses 4℃/-8℃ as a fixed value.

  • It is not used in the case of the simplified procedure.

 


BS EN 1991-1-5 Figure 6.2b & Annex B Table B.2

 

BS 5400-2 Figure 9 & Annex C Table C.2

 

Type 3: Concrete deck

   Loads are provided in two types according to temperature, but 36 sets of temperature gradient loads are provided according to the section height and pavement thickness, so several linear interpolations are required to apply them.

Problem

  • In Heating, when h is more than 0.8, it is indicated as 13.0℃, but in Annex Table B.3, it is indicated as 13.5℃.

  • In Cooling, the range notation of h3 is incorrect.

  • In cooling, h2/h3 is set to be larger than 0.20m.

  • In B.3 Table, although Cooling T1 is indicated as 4.3 for a slab depth of 1.0m and surfacing thickness of 200mm, it should be interpolated to the intermediate value for the depth of 0.8/1.5.

Modification

  • It is applied in accordance with BS 5400-2, as 13.5°C.

  • Range notation follows BS5400-2.

  • In Cooling, h2/h3 is set to be less than 0.20m.

  • It is revised to 4.8 instead of 4.3.

 

BS EN 1991-1-5 Figure 6.2c & Annex B Table B.3

 

BS 5400-2 Figure 9 & Annex C Table C.3

 

Temperature load interpolation

   There are no guidelines other than the specified slab height and surface thickness. However, based on experience, linear interpolation within the range is acceptable. linear interpolation is performed within the range and the closest value is taken for the value exceeding or less than this.

 

BS EN 1991-1-5 Annex B. Table B1 to B3

 

   Conceptually, the temperature load on the top surface of a slab decreases as the thickness of the surface increases.

   In the case of Type 2 & 3, when the thickness is unsurfaced, i.e., zero, the value is calculated to be smaller than when there is thickness. Then, in the case of types 2 & 3, should the unsurfaced and 50mm be interpolated for the surface thickness of less than 50mm? A question may arise.

   This can be seen by referring to BS 5400-2, which specifies that the surfaced thickness includes waterproofing thickness. This means that Types 2 & 3 can be divided into two types of surfaces: one with waterproofing and another without any surfacing.

   Therefore, for sections with a surfacing thickness of 50mm or less, it is necessary to interpolate the value between waterproofing thickness and 50mm, and CS454 provides accurate information on this.

 

BS 5400-2:2006 Annex C

 

CS 454 Appendix D2.3

 

Temperature load combination

   In the load combination of BS EN, the uniform temperature and temperature difference are not separately dealt with, but expressed as one “Thermal action”.

 

BS EN 1991-1-5 6.1.5

 

(2) Thermal Gradient Load Calculation - BS EN

   Based on the above, the calculation sheet for determining the temperature gradient load can be prepared as follows:

 

Calculation Example by Deck Type

 

(3) Conclusion

   BS EN 1991-1-5 covers a wide variety of applications for temperature gradient loads based on the shape and variation of temperature. However, it has inherent errors that can be confusing for engineers encountering the standard for the first time. Therefore, it is necessary to compare it with BS 5400-2:2006 to understand it better.

   If possible, It is recommended to apply the latest information contained in DMRB CS454 as much as possible.
