The finite element method can facilitate thermal simulation and predict the structural temperature distribution based on heat flow theories. Previous studies mainly focused on the daytime with sunny weather, and the effects of solar shadow distribution were not fully considered or even ignored. In this paper, a systematic all-weather thermal simulation method was proposed to investigate the temperature distributions of concrete maglev bridges. The solar shadow distribution on the bridge surface could be accurately simulated to determine the solar radiation-imposed range. A meteorological station and some thermocouples were installed on a real concrete maglev bridge to obtain the real-time structural temperatures and environmental conditions. Its temperature distribution is also simulated using the proposed method within the 27 monitoring days in Summer. Results show that the simulated structural temperature matches well with the measured results under various weather conditions, except that of the east structural surface. Moreover, the simulation method acquired a higher accuracy under overcast or rainy weather due to weaker solar radiation effects. Both the numerical results and experimental records illustrated that direct solar radiation dominates the thermal energy exchange under sunny or cloudy conditions. The proposed methodology for temperature field simulation is oriented by all-weather prediction of structural temperature, which is reliable for concrete bridge structures with the help of accurate measurement of real-time solar radiation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21175789","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,31]],"date-time":"2021-08-31T22:58:15Z","timestamp":1630450695000},"page":"5789","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["All-Weather Thermal Simulation Methods for Concrete Maglev Bridge Based on Structural and Meteorological Monitoring Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1575-0026","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ao","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bridge Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zongkai","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Overseas Construction Limited, Shenzhen 518005, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0963-3237","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaoming","family":"Lei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Disaster Reduction in Civil Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1548-0567","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ye","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bridge Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Limin","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bridge Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Disaster Reduction in Civil Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"},{"name":"Shanghai Qi-Zhi Research Institute, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Rizzo, P., and Enshaeian, A.
