Abstract: To prevent early cracking of concrete during the construction period of long-span composite girder bridges with corrugated steel webs, the influence of concrete hydration heat on early stress and temperature fields of structures was studied through on-site testing. A finite element analysis model was used to analyze the influence of cement dosage, molding temperature and ambient temperature on the temperature field and temperature stress. Results indicate that for composite beam bridges with corrugated steel webs, peak base plate temperatures occur 20-28 hours after pouring, with a maximum inner-surface-to-surface temperature difference of approximately 24℃. To mitigate early hydration effects in composite girder bridges with corrugated steel webs, it is recommended to optimize concrete mixtures or reduce cement dosage while using low-hydration-heat cement. Additionally, controlling molding temperature within 5~15℃ during winter construction can help manage hydration heat and minimize early cracking risks.
