| description | An overview of deterioration mechanisms and damage to masonry arch bridges, methods for inspection of existing structures, and conservative and sophisticated assessment methods, is presented in this paper. An original preliminary assessment procedure is developed based on the analysis of small-span masonry arch bridges using three conservative assessment methods, and an additional analysis of strengthening and adjustment of these bridges during their service life to modern traffic demands. The procedure contains three basic steps: data collection, arch assessment, and deck slab assessment. |
