Abstract:Skewed bridges in Kansas are often designed such that the cross-frames are carried parallel to the skew angle up to 40°, while many other states place cross-frames perpendicular to the girder for skew angles greater than 20°. Skewed-parallel cross-frames are longer and may require different connections than cross-frames oriented perpendicular to the girder. Therefore, it is important to determine whether the cross-frames and their corresponding connecting elements placed in a parallel-to-skew configuration are sufficiently designed to resist lateral torsional buckling demands using current KDOT practices.
