In order to cater to high speeds and more safety requirements of the traffic, modern highways are to be straight as far as possible and this has required the provision of increasing number of skew bridges. In brief the study includes the behavior of skew slab bridges with respect to support reaction and deflection of the slab under standard IRC 70R wheeled loading. The modeling of the slab is done by using both Finite element method (FEM) and Grillage method and results are compared. December 2012 - February 2013 Copyright © 2013 i-manager publications.
