Behaviour of reinforced concrete skew slab: A review

There is an enormous growth in number of skew bridges or flyovers; especially in urban and developing cities. Due to ease in construction and constraints of space availability in cities; highway interchanges or grade separators, the skewed slab bridges are adopted instead of conventional straight slab bridges. The present paper discusses the typical skew slab behaviour emphasize on lateral live load distribution, skew angle influence and application of finite element method to determine the stress parameter. The objective of this study is to understand the pros and cons of behavior of skew slab bridges from the available literature.
