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 …

In European roadway and railway networks, many multi-span unreinforced arch bridges
were built in the last century. These structures are often characterized by piers with shallow …

Seismic structural assessment of masonry arch bridges is essential due to their cultural,
economic and strategic importance and vulnerability. A realistic and rigorous structural …

Over last centuries, masonry arch has been one of the most used basic structural systems in
buildings and infrastructures. One of the most interesting current issues relates safety …

Nowadays, several historical masonry arch bridges present a deficient state of conservation
due to degradation processes induced by natural or human actions. Usually, these …

In this study, lateral capacity and load-deflection behavior of unreinforced stone masonry
walls are analyzed based on the discrete element method considering the uncertainties in …

Ultimate bearing capacity is the main basis for evaluating the safety state of in-service
reinforced concrete (RC) arch bridges. However, current evaluation methods require a lot of …

ABSTRACT A methodology is proposed to efficiently develop BIM models of masonry arch
bridges, with the objective of generating databases (Level of Information, LoI) associated …

Masonry structures were built by various techniques using different materials, the properties
of which exhibit a considerable scatter dependent on periods of construction and region …

The large number of existing masonry bridges still in service in the world roadway and
railway networks requires that transportation system managers carry out ordinary and …
