Recently, rationally-designed bridges are popular types of steel bridges in Japan because of the reduced construction costs and labor. They comprise long spanned prestressed concrete slabs and steel plate-girder bridges without diagonals and laterals. However, much attention is being paid because their applicable shapes have heretofore been limited in construction. This report describes their structural behavior with skew and bending at piers beyond ordinary bridge design specification through the numerical analysis.
