SKEW SLAB BRIDGES

The author gives details of the applications, typical dimensions, structural behaviour, analysis, and ultimate strength of skew slab bridges. The effects of cracking and inelastic behaviour on the deflections and serviceability of skew slab bridges are reviewed. The need for prestressing in order to control behaviour and provide serviceability is discussed. Theories of elasticity and plasticity are discussed with respect to their applicability to the design of skew slab bridges. It is shown that an inherent stress condition can be superimposed on the computed ultimate section forces with no effect on ultimate strength. The relationships necessary for designing a skew slab bridge for ultimate strength are presented. For the covering abstract see TRIS 393158. (TRRL)
