Cable-stayed bridges have been commonly used on high-speed railways. The design, construction, and maintenance of cable-stayed bridges necessitate an accurate assessment of the cable temperature field. However, the temperature fields of cables have not been well established.

Previous studies mainly focused on the temperature prediction of slab tracks, while how the temperature distribution is affected by environmental conditions has been rarely investigated. Based on the integral transformation method, this work presents an analytical method to determine and decompose the temperature distribution of the concrete slab track.
