This paper presents unified analytical formulas to calculate the vertical temperature difference induced deflection of a prismatic beam with any number of spans, and investigates the influences of structural geometry, material property, and temperature change on beam deflection through detailed parametric analysis. The study reveals the distinct thermal deformation characteristics between beams with odd and even-numbered spans, enhancing the understanding of the thermal behavior of beams.
This paper presents unified analytical formulas to calculate the vertical temperature difference induced deflection of a prismatic beam with any number of spans. The influences of the structural geometry, material property, and temperature change on the beam deflection are investigated through detailed parametric analysis. A beam with odd-numbered spans has distinct thermal deformation characteristics from that with even-numbered spans. For an equal-span continuous beam, the outermost spans on both ends undergo the largest deformation due to the vertical temperature difference, while the middlemost spans the least. The mid-span deflection of each span converges quickly to the limit value with the increase of the total span number n. The limits for the outermost and middlemost spans are respectively D-0 center dot(root 3 - 1)/2 and zero, where D-0 is the thermal deflection at mid-span of a simply supported beam with the same span length. This study enhances the understanding of the thermal behaviour of beams.
