ST7-1.40.60.18 Masonry Arch Bridge 2D Analysis
Masonry arch construction relies on compressive loading in the arch to support load. Masonry material is orthotropic (having different properties in each direction) and cracks can form either along grout lines or through discrete bricks. This analysis addresses the questions what is the limit load of the structure? and where is cracking likely to start?
We start with a 2D model and extend it to a 3D brick model as a comparison approach in the subsequent Webnote ST7-1.40.60.19 Masonry Arch...
