Bending Moment Fig. 5 Bending moment on inner girder for different
AA Tracked skew angles
The maximum value of bending moment for the outer Shear force
girder decreases along with the increase in the skew AA Tracked
angle from 0 to 60. It is also observed that the point
of maximum bending point shifts towards the first half The maximum shear force on the girder decreases as
of the span for 50 and 60 skew angles. skew angle increases from 0 to 60. The percentage
decrease for 60 skew is 30.39%.
The maximum bending moment at the inner girder
decreases with the increase in the skew angle up to a A Train
skew angle of 30 and it increases from 40 skew
angle. Shear force is maximum for a straight bridge and it
decreases till the skew angle of 60. The percentage
A Train decrement in the shear force value is 31.54%.
For Box Girder Fig. 8 Shear force of box girder for different skew angles
AA Tracked AA Tracked
The bending moment generated in the web of the box The bending moment developed in the slab of the girder
girder decreases as the skew angle increases from 0 to decreases initially till 20 with a percentage decrement at
60. It is observed that the point of maximum bending 20 skew angle of 25.05%. The bending moment
moment shifts towards the first half of the span for the generated in the slab increases rapidly for skew angles
skew angles of 40 and above. greater than 30.

Bending moment increases along with the increase in the The bending moment generated in the deck slab of the
skew angle. However the percentage increase is small. bridge follows the same pattern as that of AA Tracked
The maximum bending moment found at 60 skew angle live load. It decreases by 4.70% at 20 skew angle after
is 2.87% more than that for a straight bridge. which it increases by 61.61% for 60 skew angle.
