Summary:This work provides a comprehensive review of previous studies concerning the static thermal behaviors of various types of bridges, including beam bridges, arch bridges, cable-stayed, and suspension bridges. Given that thermal behaviors are closely associated with the temperature distribution of bridges, the basis of the heat transfer analysis is briefly introduced first. The studies of the temperature distribution and the temperature actions of each type of bridge are then reviewed from the perspective of theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, experimental tests, and field monitoring. Finally, some existing problems are discussed, and future research topics are recommended.
