In this paper the dynamic response of a skew bridge deck has been investigated, treating it as an orthotropic plate and using the finite strip method. Employing the normal mode method, the response of the deck due to a moving force has been calculated. Williams' method has been used to accelerate the convergence of the solution. Numerical work has been done for different skew angles and speed ranges. In this study, the history curves and the maximum amplification spectra for deflection and bending moment are presented.
