Masonry arch bridges are part of our cultural heritage and represent a significant proportion of the European road and rail infrastructure. Increasing traffic demand and exposure to seismic risk require a deep understanding of their structural behaviour and reliable assessment methods. This book contributes to the knowledge of the response of masonry arch bridges under exercise loads and earthquakes. Experimental tests are carried out to investigate the mechanical response of historic brickwork under eccentric compression, which is the base for numerical simulations. Multi-span masonry arch...
