MODIFICATION OF SLAB DESIGN STANDARDS FOR EFFECTS OF SKEW - PHASE 2 (TYPE B STUDY). FINAL REPORT

Study of skew effects on RC slab design parameters were continued on wider bridges (up to 100 feet in width). The parameter studies previously made with GENDEK-5 were repeated with the same span length, skew angle, slab depth, and support parameters to include effects of skew on transverse and torsional moments as well as dead load deflections. Programs NOPARC and BDS (Bridge Design System) were utilized for comparison of results. Plotted values of reaction modification factors (at abutments) and moment modification factors are presented for flexural and torsional moments.
