Paper Summary

The study tested reinforced concrete skewed slab bridges under heavy loads until failure. Cracks mainly appeared at the midspan near the edge and obtuse angle region, where bending and torsional moments were severe. The ultimate strength of the skewed slab bridge was found to be higher when considering material nonlinearities compared to linear analysis.
