# Uniform Temperature Load \[TB]

## General

Normally, two distinct scenarios should be generated with two stages for contraction and expansion.

**Bridge:** Choose the bridge to automatically apply the temperature load on all deck and girder components.

**Stage:** Choose a stage to apply the uniform temperature loading.

**Temperature Change From Mean:** When dealing with expansion, it is necessary to input a positive temperature value, whereas a negative temperature value should be utilized for contraction.
