Effect of Skew Angle on the Behaviour of Skew Slab under Uniformly Distributed Load
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Slab is an extensively used structural element which usually carries uniformly distributed gravity loads. Out of different shapes of slabs, rectangular and skew slabs have quite a good number of applications in modern civil engineering structures. Skew slabs simply supported on two opposite side span can be divided into two types depending on the shape and the behavior of slabs. i) Skew slab with ratio of short diagonal to span less than unity and ii) Skew slab with ratio of short diagonal to span greater than unity. The use of FEA has been a preferred method to study the behavior of concrete structures as it is much faster than the experimental method and is cost effective. In this study finite element modeling of skew slab by using commercially available Finite Element software, ANSYS, has been carried out. Finite Element modeling of the skew slab (with short diagonal to span ratio less than unity) specimens with different skew angle has been done and the results obtained are compared. After the analysis it was found that maximum deflection of skew slabs decreases with increase in skew angle. This indicates that load carrying capacity of skew slab increases as skew angle increases.
