Temperature Load

The temperature load assumes a linear distribution of temperature throughout the slab thickness. Such thermal gradient causes moments in the slab given by:

where:

E

-

elastic modulus

ν

-

Poisson's ratio

h

-

slab thickness

α

-

coefficient of thermal expansion

Δt

-

temperature difference
