Abstract
With the development of the recent technologies, more and more materials take the places of the old-fashioned materials in many engineering fields, and one very common material in the engineering field, especially in the Mechanical and Civil engineering fields are the FRP materials, which is a human made material with good performance, overall cost and good adaptation to many kinds of environment, and it is also an eco friendly material. However, although it is a human made material, there are still a lot of features of it which have not been well defined, so in order to know this kind of material better, the performance of a fibre composite bridge under long time period influence by the temperature was monitored by five temperature sensors which were placed at five different locations on the fibre composite bridge. In order to better analyse this project, all data will be imported into Matlab with Simulink module to generate simulations to get the results, and the main objectives of this dissertation is to analyse the performance of the bridge under the influence of the temperature. Each of the five loggers collects 32,500 data for 340 days, and 162,500 data by all five sensors, and the data interval is 900 seconds. With all this data, the fluctuations of five loggers, the average temperature of each day at five different locations, the thermal conductivity of the bridge and some other important elements related to the temperature are going to be investigated, and the results of them will be further analysed to give conclusions about the temperature effects on the fibre composite bridge. Furthermore, these data, simulations and conclusions will be stored for the future work.
