| Description | The observation of several collapsed stone block masonry structures, such as Selinunte and Agrigento temples, has shown that loss of equilibrium is the major cause of global failure: the material failure is absent, since in many cases the collapsed blocks are in perfect conditions. The restoration in these cases can be done by means of a simple rebuilding. The above considerations are perfectly suitable for both great stone block structures and for particular structures like the masonry arches. This paper presents a comparison between the results of a classical 'limit' analysis, after Heyman, and two F.E.M. analysis, performed involving both linear and non-linear material behaviour, for a stone masonry arch bridge. The case study is the Roman stone arch bridge in Pont St. Martin (Aosta, Italy), which has a single span of 31,4 metres. It is shown that a simple F.E.M. analysis in this case does not give the designer an exact evaluation of the safety degree of the structure. Book Name: Arch Bridges |
