Since temperature effect on steel-concrete composite beam varies significantly across different regions, this study aims to investigate the regional differences and zoning of temperature action values due to solar exposure on steel-concrete composite beams. A steel-concrete composite beam for cable-stayed bridge in Guangdong province of China was taken as a practical engineering case to investigate its temperature field through field monitoring and numerical simulation. The measured temperature values demonstrated a good correlation with the results obtained from the finite element analysis, i...
