Abstract
The effect of a skew angle on single-span reinforced concrete bridges is analyzed using the finite-element method and the results are
presented in this paper. Investigations are carried out on RC slab bridge decks with and without edge beams to study the influence of
aspect ratio, skew angle and type of load. The finite-element analysis results for skewed bridges are compared to the reference
straight bridges for dead load, IRC Class A loading and IRC 70R loading for with and without edge beam. A total of 90 bridge models
are analyzed. The variation of maximum deflection, maximum longitudinal sagging bending moment, maximum torsional moment, and
maximum support reaction with skew angle is studied for all 90 bridge deck models. The FEA results of Dead load and Live load
bending moments and deflections decreases with increase in skew angle, where as maximum support reactions increases with increase
in skew angle and the maximum torsional moment increases with skew angle up to 45 degrees and there after decreases. The benefit
of providing edge beam is reflected in significant decrease in deflection, longitudinal bending moment and torsional moment.

1. INTRODUCTION
Skewed bridges are often encountered in highway design
when the geometry cannot accommodate straight bridges. The
skew angle can be defined as the angle between the normal to
the centreline of the bridge and the centreline of the abutment
or pier cap, as described in Fig. 2. Skew bridges have become
a necessity due to site considerations such as alignment
constraints, land acquisition problems, etc. The presence
of skew in a bridge makes the analysis and design of bridge
decks intricate. For the Slab bridge decks with small skew
angle, it is considered safe to analyze the bridge as a right
bridge with a span equal to the skew span.
In non skewed bridges, the load path is straight toward the
support (Fig 1a). In skewed bridges, the load tends to take a
shortest path to the nearest support i.e. to the obtuse corners of
the bridge here the maximum deflection occurs at obtuse
angled corner (Fig 1b).
Khaleel et al., (1990) presented a method for determining
moments in continuous normal and skew slab-and-girder
bridges due to live loads. Menassa et al. (2007) compared the
effect o skew angle with reference to straight bridge and
reported that the bridges with skew angle less than 20 degree
can be designed as non skew as the moments are almost same
for both. Vikash Khatri et al. (2012) compared grillage
method and finite element method of analysis and
recommended the use of FEM because of closes agreement
with the exact solution. Patrick Theoret et al., (2012) studied
the bending moments and shear forces, required to design
skewed concrete slab bridges.

2. PARAMETRIC STUDY
A simply supported, single span, two lane RC slab bridge deck
is considered. The span is varied from 5, 7.5 and 9.5m (aspect
ratio 1) and skew angle is varied from 0° to 60° at 15° interval
is considered with the depth of the slab 750mm for all spans.
Edge beam of depth 1.5m and width of 0.3m is provided. The
bridge deck is analyzed for Dead load as well as two classes of
live load i.e. IRC Class A and IRC Class 70R. Comparison of
critical structural response parameter of above cases is
presented in the following for slabs with and without edge
beam. A total of 90 slab deck models have been analyzed

3. LOAD ON BRIDGE DECK MODELS
The vehicular live load consist of a set wheel loads and are
treated as concentrated loads acting at centres of contact areas,
two classes of load i.e. IRC Class A and IRC 70R are
considered for analysis. The peak values of critical structural
response parameter such as deflection, longitudinal sagging
bending moment, torsional moment and support reaction are
analyzed. Different positions of each type of loading systems
are considered from table 2 of IRC 6:2000.
4. FINITE ELEMENT MODELING
The analysis is carried out using finite element method. The
concrete slabs are modelled using four noded plate elements
and edge beams using two noded beam elements. Simple
support condition is provided.

5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The FEA results are obtained and presented in terms of critical
structural response parameter such a deflection, longitudinal
sagging bending moment, torsional moment, and support
reaction in the bridge deck models due to the applied wheel
load. The variations of the critical structural response
parameter due to changes in skew angle are presented in the
following.
5.1 Deflection
• It is observed that the maximum deflection for
skewed slab deck for all types of load compared to
that of straight deck slab decreases with the
increase in skew angle for all aspect ratios as

deflection decreases around 40% to 60% for skew angle
up to 60°, longitudinal bending moment decreases
around 60% to 70% for skew angle up to 60°, the
reduction is even more pronounced in case of torsional
moment, support reaction increases around 170% when
it reaches 45° and then decreases by 14% for 60° skew
angle compared to right bridge without edge beam for
all aspect ratio.

Effect of skew angle on static behaviour of reinforced

  • 1. IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308 __________________________________________________________________________________________ IC-RICE Conference Issue | Nov-2013, Available @ http://www.ijret.org 50 EFFECT OF SKEW ANGLE ON STATIC BEHAVIOUR OF REINFORCED CONCRETE SLAB BRIDGE DECKS Sindhu B.V1 , Ashwin K.N2 , Dattatreya J.K.3 , S.V Dinesh4 1 Post Graduate Student, 2 Assistant Professor, 3 Research Professor, 4 Professor and Head, Department of Civil Engineering, Siddaganga Institute of Technology, Tumkur sindhubvr@gmail.coml, meetashwinkn@yahoo.com, jk.dattatreya@gmail.com, dineshsv2004@yahoo.com Abstract The effect of a skew angle on single-span reinforced concrete bridges is analyzed using the finite-element method and the results are presented in this paper. Investigations are carried out on RC slab bridge decks with and without edge beams to study the influence of aspect ratio, skew angle and type of load. The finite-element analysis results for skewed bridges are compared to the reference straight bridges for dead load, IRC Class A loading and IRC 70R loading for with and without edge beam. A total of 90 bridge models are analyzed. The variation of maximum deflection, maximum longitudinal sagging bending moment, maximum torsional moment, and maximum support reaction with skew angle is studied for all 90 bridge deck models. The FEA results of Dead load and Live load bending moments and deflections decreases with increase in skew angle, where as maximum support reactions increases with increase in skew angle and the maximum torsional moment increases with skew angle up to 45 degrees and there after decreases. The benefit of providing edge beam is reflected in significant decrease in deflection, longitudinal bending moment and torsional moment. Keywords: Bridges, skew angle; Concrete slabs; Finite element method; span length; dead load; IRC Class A loading and IRC Class 70R loading. ----------------------------------------------------------------------***----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION Skewed bridges are often encountered in highway design when the geometry cannot accommodate straight bridges. The skew angle can be defined as the angle between the normal to the centreline of the bridge and the centreline of the abutment or pier cap, as described in Fig. 2. Skew bridges have become a necessity due to site considerations such as alignment constraints, land acquisition problems, etc. The presence of skew in a bridge makes the analysis and design of bridge decks intricate. For the Slab bridge decks with small skew angle, it is considered safe to analyze the bridge as a right bridge with a span equal to the skew span. In non skewed bridges, the load path is straight toward the support (Fig 1a). In skewed bridges, the load tends to take a shortest path to the nearest support i.e. to the obtuse corners of the bridge here the maximum deflection occurs at obtuse angled corner (Fig 1b). Khaleel et al., (1990) presented a method for determining moments in continuous normal and skew slab-and-girder bridges due to live loads. Menassa et al. (2007) compared the effect o skew angle with reference to straight bridge and reported that the bridges with skew angle less than 20 degree can be designed as non skew as the moments are almost same for both. Vikash Khatri et al. (2012) compared grillage method and finite element method of analysis and recommended the use of FEM because of closes agreement with the exact solution. Patrick Theoret et al., (2012) studied the bending moments and shear forces, required to design skewed concrete slab bridges. (a) (b) Fig1.

PARAMETRIC STUDY A simply supported, single span, two lane RC slab bridge deck is considered. The span is varied from 5, 7.5 and 9.5m (aspect ratio 1) and skew angle is varied from 0° to 60° at 15° interval is considered with the depth of the slab 750mm for all spans. Edge beam of depth 1.5m and width of 0.3m is provided. The bridge deck is analyzed for Dead load as well as two classes of live load i.e. IRC Class A and IRC Class 70R. Comparison of critical structural response parameter of above cases is presented in the following for slabs with and without edge beam. A total of 90 slab deck models have been analyzed Table 1: Geometric parameters slab bridge decks No Span(m) Width(m) Aspect ratio (span/width) 1 5 9.5 0.526 2 7.5 9.5 0.789 3 9.5 9.5 1 3. LOAD ON BRIDGE DECK MODELS The vehicular live load consist of a set wheel loads and are treated as concentrated loads acting at centres of contact areas, two classes of load i.e. IRC Class A and IRC 70R are considered for analysis. The peak values of critical structural response parameter such as deflection, longitudinal sagging bending moment, torsional moment and support reaction are analyzed. Different positions of each type of loading systems are considered from table 2 of IRC 6:2000. 4. FINITE ELEMENT MODELING The analysis is carried out using finite element method. The concrete slabs are modelled using four noded plate elements and edge beams using two noded beam elements. Simple support condition is provided.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The FEA results are obtained and presented in terms of critical structural response parameter such a deflection, longitudinal sagging bending moment, torsional moment, and support reaction in the bridge deck models due to the applied wheel load. The variations of the critical structural response parameter due to changes in skew angle are presented in the following. 5.1 Deflection • It is observed that the maximum deflection for skewed slab deck for all types of load compared to that of straight deck slab decreases with the increase in skew angle for all aspect ratios as
