Steel girder bridges in particular can suffer the consequences of skew, and addressing the topic of how to mitigate the effects of skew in these structures is important. This paper addresses skew in several contexts, including how skew affects the behavior of steel girder bridges and their components as well as the impacts of skew on the detailing, fabrication, and erection of steel girder bridges. In addition to discussing the problems associated with skew, the paper offers ideas and techniques for minimizing or avoiding skew and for analyzing, understanding, and mitigating the effects of skew when it cannot be avoided.
