Abstract: The numerical formulation and a finite element computer program were developed for the non-linear analysis of reinforced concrete skew slabs. It is important to ensure that the proposed model should perform well in a variety of situations. Before comparing the overall performance of the numerical model with the experimental results, a parametric study was undertaken to observe the influence of some numerical parameters on the solution. The experimental results of two test slabs have been selected to study the effects of the parameters on the solution in order to test the sensitivity of the model.
