Investigation of Masonry Arch Bridges Under Earthquake Loading
307536 - Engineering Mathematics 120
11 Pages • Essays / Projects • Year Uploaded: 2021
The design of historical structures revolved around statics with either minimal considerations for horizontal loading or none at all. As such, they are ill-equipped to withstand the extreme loads associated with earthquake excitation. This paper will evaluate the effects of in-plane and out-of-plane dynamic loading on various masonry arch bridge models under plane strain modelling. A constitutive model based on damage-plasticity will be adopted to represent the masonry elements based on historical values for strength, as well as plastic and elastic strain measures. The effects of the backfill, slenderness of piers, soil domain and number of spans in regards to the stability and strength of the structure will be analysed and discussed.
