Abstract
The environmental thermal changes produce deformations and stresses in the structures
that can accelerate the cracking in the concrete and, consequently, shorten its durability. Currently,
Colombia lacks specific studies on thermal loads on bridges. Consequently, a numerical model is
developed programming in Python an algorithm that solves the one-dimensional problem in
transient state to simulate heat transfer mechanism in the concrete deck of a concrete bridge. The
results are validated with academic reference problems. In addition, a comparison is made with
surface temperature data with thermal camera monitoring measurements for two bridges located
in Bogotá and Neiva. The numerical model gives similar results to the reference problems and
conservative results with reference to the monitoring data.
