SKEW-1

Purpose: Used to define abutment/pier skew angles in parallel/concentric geometry Girder System Projects. (See SKEW for Line Girder Projects.)

--> Given in girder system input

SKEW-1 is a list of skew angles (degrees) of the abutments and piers with respect to a tangent to Girder 1, the rightmost girder at the point of intersection, beginning from the left end of the girder system. The skew angles are greater than 90 degrees if the abutments and piers are rotated counterclockwise. The default is 90 degrees (perpendicular). Note: This command is only used for the purposes of generating the framing plan geometry (see girder input BNGSKEW to specify the bearing line angle for moment redistribution).
