Skew decks in reinforced concrete bridges [PDF]
Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2017 Abstract This research investigates reinforced concrete plates and shells with skew reinforcement whose directions are not aligned with the principal internal forces. Two normal forces, one tangential force, two bending moments, and one twisting moment are defined in the plane of the element.
