Existing test results of full-scale in-service masonry arch bridges are analysed to determine
appropriate material properties for the modelling of this structural type. Three-dimensional …

A stepwise iterative procedure for the nonlinear analysis of multispan arch bridges, suitable
for implementation by standard programming of commercial finite element codes, is …

In this paper, the static non-linear behavior of masonry bridges is numerically analyzed by
means of a 3D FE numerical code. In particular, the three dimensional behavior of the …

Several numerical models are presented in this article, for the study of the ultimate
behaviour of a real stone arch bridge. For the exact representation of the geometry an …

In this work a multidisciplinary approach for the structural assessment of masonry arch
bridges is presented. The Vilanova Bridge, located in Galicia, northwest of Spain, is …

The present paper deals with the experimental campaign and the numerical modeling of
reinforced masonry arches strengthened with fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) strips. The …

Masonry arch bridges form a significant portion of the European transport infrastructure
network. Many of these bridges are relatively old but still in service. Increasing vehicle loads …

This work delves into the seismic assessment of masonry bridges through a detailed
analysis of an existing triple-arched bridge. Firstly, the effectiveness of the nonlinear static …

In the last forty years an enormous growth in the development of numerical tools for
structural analysis has been achieved. The use of such tools demands advanced testing in …

A two-dimensional model for the evaluation of the load carrying capacity of masonry bridges
is proposed that takes into account the strengthening effects due to arch–fill interaction …
