The rehabilitation and conservation has shown in recent years the need of reliable methods for assessing masonry arch bridges: it is important not only to maintain ancient structures in good conditions, but also, when necessary, to be able to estimate their safety factor as accurately as possible. Starting from a real case, this paper presents the results of a 3D FEM analysis of a stone masonry arch bridge, performed involving non-linear material behaviour, in which the structural role of the spandrel walls and filling is involved.

Abstract
The rehabilitation and conservation has shown in recent years the need of reliable methods for assessing masonry arch bridges: it is important not only to maintain ancient structures in good conditions, but also, when necessary, to be able to estimate their safety factor as accurately as possible. Starting from a real case, this paper presents the results of a 3D FEM analysis of a stone masonry arch bridge, performed involving non-linear material behaviour, in which the structural role of the spandrel walls and filling is involved.File in questo prodotto:
