Highly-skewed steel I-girder bridges are commonly used, especially in congested areas, despite complications in their analysis, design, and construction. Although design requirements (such as the commonly used line girder analysis) have guidelines associated with skew, more study is needed to establish a comprehensive understanding of load distribution in skewed steel I-girder bridges and to potentially refine the associated analysis and design procedures. This presentation discusses field monitoring and 3D finite element analysis of two bridges in the vicinity of each other in Champaign, Illinois, to provide new understanding of skew effects on bridge superstructure behavior during construction and after in-service.
