MODELLING MASONRY ARCH BRIDGES USING COMMERCIAL FINITE ELEMENT SOFTWARE (2003)

Numerical models of masonry arch bridges are required for accurate determination of ultimate failure loads. Finite element analysis (FEA) has been surprisingly under-used in this area perhaps because the main features of masonry behaviour, namely strongly non-linear loss of stiffness through cracking and failure of an arch by the formation of a mechanism
