Normally, massive structures like RCC bridges , retaining walls are designed for worst combination of loads acting on them. In addition to required reinforcement for resisting internal forces, temperature and shrinkage reinforcement are also provided. After providing these reinforcements, is there any chance to develop additional internal forces due to change in temperature?
Is there a possibility of large change in temperature suddenly in case these structures?
change in temperature can effect the structure but if it have temperature reinforcement then it wont effect that much as these forces dont cause collapse in worst case may be little bit cracking that can occure and one should monitor that crackings carefully in routine. its highly unlikely that after providing temperature reinforcment a failure occure. but yes internal forces are part of all the mechanism that invlove in order to change in temperature.
