Differential Temperature Calculations

Calculations are based on the method proposed by N Priestley in the ACI Journal May 1978

Only enter information in cells designated yellow

This spreadsheet is set up to check both simply supported structures and continuous
structures. For a continuous structure, the calculated restraint moment M
must be used to calculate the final moments induced into the beam due
to continuity

M M

M'

BM due to continuity restraint from piers

Average temperature over section is average temperature value over the height of the section

section 1 average temperature

for section 1
section 2

average temperature
for section 2

average temperature
section n for section n
