This paper presents approaches for the employment of non-contact sensing to enhance both
the efficiency and reliability of numerical modelling of historic masonry. It commences with a …

Masonry arch bridges continue to form a pivotal part of the transport networks of the UK and
many other countries worldwide. However, their three-dimensional response (3D) under …

Masonry arch bridges are characterised by three-dimensional (3D) behaviour when
subjected to external eccentric loading (eg, vehicle loads). The arch ring, abutments, backfill …

Masonry arch bridges form an integral part of our rail infrastructure network and their safety
is important for the functioning of our society. Although, there have been several studies to …

The paper presents some SHM results belonging to a wide experimental campaign
conducted on a multi-arch masonry bridge located near Mumbai (India), exhibiting a large …

Seismic analysis of historical masonry bridges is important for authorities in all countries
hosting such cultural heritage assets. The masonry arch bridge investigated in this study …

Skewed masonry arch railway bridges are common, yet their structural behaviour under
typical working loads, along with gradual changes in behaviour due to degradation, can be …

Since destructive tests are not allowed for historical structures, numerical model updating
using accelerometers has gained a lot of attraction in the last decade. Furthermore, another …

Cultural heritage (CH) assets are the legacy of a society that are inherited from the past
generations and can give us lessons for contemporary construction. Not only the formally …

The goal of this study is to investigate the behavior and failure mechanism of historical
