steel interface even though the temperature of the flange is close to 84 °C. The<br />
temperature of the nodes at the steel concrete interface along the top flange range<br />
from 58 °C to 60 °C at this time, which is significantly lower than that of the<br />
equivalent nodes on the bottom flange which at are temperatures between 110 °C<br />
<strong>and</strong> 120 °C.<br />

The temperature variation across the cross section is shown below in Figure 5.12.<br />
The maximum temperatures occur through the web <strong>and</strong> the lower flange <strong>and</strong> the<br />
minimum temperatures occur midway along the flange overhang, as shown in<br />
