  • Structural Analysis of a Large Span Masonry Arch Bridge Under Railway Loads
    Structural analysis of a large span masonry arch bridge under railway loads C. Molins, P. Roca and J. Casas Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), Department of Civil Engineering, Barcelona, Spain ABSTRACT: This paper presents the application of a numerical model specifically developed for the analysis of masonry constructions to the assessment of the capacity of a large open- spandrel masonry arch bridge nowadays in service subjected to railway loads. To appraise the behavior of these bridges the 85 m span structure erected over the Soča river at Solkan (Slove- nia), just outside the town of Nova Gorica, on the border with Italy, was selected. Preliminary analyses were developed using a simplified axle load along the bridge. After that, Eurocode 1 railway live loads, both vertical and horizontal (braking or starting) loads had been considered. The paper discusses, based on the results achieved in this example, the behaviour and ultimate capacity of such structures, the convenience to take into account realistic distribution of loads when analyzing such structures at service and failure conditions and the influence of horizontal load. 1 INTRODUCTION Most current methods for the assessment of masonry arches are oriented to the analysis of sin- gle arches and do not afford the study of more complex structures such as multi-arch bridges or open spandrel arches. In particular, methods based on limit analysis often require some drastic simplifications when applied to multi-span bridges, such as reducing the analysis to a single typical arch. All these simplifications are the result of the difficulty of foreseeing the position of the line of thrust (or the collapsing mechanism) in the case of complex structures including a set of arches and piers.
