Skew bridge
Design a solid slab skew bridge having a clear span of
7.5m along the roadway without any footpath and
skew angle of 25˚ with IRC loading for N.H standard.
M20 grade concrete and Fe415 grade steel to be used
Given data:
clear span = 7.5m 7.5m 6.8m
L
X = L/2
=7.36/2 = 3.68m.
W = (tire contact length) + 2 (thickness of wearing coarse)
= 0.84 + 2(0.085) {tire contact length – refer IRC 6}
=1.01m
K = coefficient determined by b/L ratio
b = width of the slab
= (7.5 +0.465+0.465) sec (25) = 9.26m
L = effective span (SSB) or clear span (continuous beam)
= 7.36m
b/L = 1.26 IRC 21:2000
K= 2.69 Clause : 305.16.2

= (5.96/2)+2.04+(0.84/2)+1.2+0.465.
= 7.105m.
Dispersion along span of the slab = (length of wheel contact) +
2(thickness of slab + thickness of wearing coarse)
= 4.57+2(0.6+0.085) = 5.94m.
Intensity of the load = (load/area)
= 70000/(7.105*5.94)
= 1659 kg/m²
= 1659 kg/m (for every 1m)
The influence line diagram is drawn for the bending moment as
follows:
𝑥(𝑙−𝑥)
At x =
𝑙
= 3.68(7.36-3.68)/7.36
= 1.84
𝑥(𝑙−𝑦)
At y =
𝑙
x = 3.68m
= 3.68(7.36-6.65)/7.36
y = 6.65m = 0.355
Live load moment = area of influence line diagram * loading
2∗(1.84+0.355)
= ∗ 2.97 ∗ 1659
2
=10815 kgm
Impact factor = 25%
Live load moment with impact = 1.25*10815 = 13520 kgm.
Design moment (M) = D.L.M + L.L.M
= 12190 + 13520
= 25710 kgm
= 252000 Nm.

Area of steel (As) =
𝑓𝑦∗𝑑∗𝑘
Permissible tensile stress in steel (fy) = 200Mpa
Effective depth (d) = 560 mm
Lever arm factor (k) = 0.9
252000∗10³
As= = 2490 mm²
200∗560∗0.9
Thus provide 22mm dia HYSD bar @150mm c/c = > As = 2535 mm²
Distribution steel :
Moment in transverse direction = 0.3*L.L.M + 0.2*D.L.M
= (0.3*13520) + (0.2*12190)
=6493kgm = 63600Nm
Area of steel (As) = (63600*10³)/(200*560*0.9)
= 648 mm²
Provide 12mm dia HYSD bar @ 150mm c/c.
Check for shear :
Due to the skew action acting on the bridge 30% of additional
stress act over the support present at the obtuse angle corner.
