Data Source and Methodology
All calculations are strictly based on the formulas and data provided by the Eurocode 1 standard.
The Formula Explained
ΔT = T_final - T_initial
Glossary of Terms
- Initial Temperature: The starting temperature in Celsius.
- Final Temperature: The ending temperature in Celsius.
- Thermal Action: The calculated effect of temperature change on a structure.
How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example
For an initial temperature of 15°C and a final temperature of 25°C, the thermal action calculated would be 10°C based on the formula.
