FINITE ELEMENT SOLUTION OF SKEW MULTIBEAM BRIDGES

J. Jiroušek

Abstract

The paper is dealing with the finite element solution of skew multibeam bridges. It is assumed that the bridge consists of precast beams placed side by side and connected to each other along the span by hinges. In the first part of the paper is derived the stiffness matrix of a skew finite element. The second part shows the results of test examples and some practical applications.
