Temperature Measurement in One Concrete Bridge

This paper presents instrumentation of one pedestrian bridge in Podgorica that is equipped for monitoring of temperature changes and strains in order to better understand thermal effects on the bridges. All instruments are embedded in structure during the construction of the bridge. Data acquisition is started in October, year 2006. The experimental part of research is finished at the end of June 2007. Montenegro should be adopt Eurocodes as national standards in the future, and for their successful implementation will be necessary to define national parameters in National Annexe which will be according with our climate area or we will adopt the parameters that are already offered as a solution in the code EN 1991-1-5. The results of experimental studies will be used in defining the national parameters that should define the National Annex of code EN 1991-1-5 which is in preparation.
