Abstract:
This paper outlines an initial analysis of 20 years of data held on an electronic bridge management database for approximately 3500 arch bridges across Northern Ireland (NI) by the Department for Infrastructure. Arch bridges represent the largest group of bridge types, making up nearly 56% of the total bridge stock in NI. This initial analysis aims to identify trends that might help inform maintenance decisions in the future. Consideration of the Bridge Condition Indicator (BCI) average value for the overall arch bridge stock indicates the potential for regional variations in the overall condition and the potential for human bias in inspections. The paper presents the most prevalent structural elements and associated defects recorded in the inspections of arch bridges. This indicated a link to scour and undermining for the worst-conditioned arch bridges. An Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) analysis identified function, number of spans, and deck width as significant factors during the various deterioration stages in a bridge’s lifecycle.

Abstract:
Thanks to the cantilever launching technique, arch bridge building has once again become popular throughout the world. Today, these structures are one of the three main types of long-span bridges, along with suspension and cable-stayed bridges. Arch bridge structures have a complex behavior during powerful earthquakes because the arch rib is an element that is primarily susceptible to a large axial compression force brought on by dead loads. The nonlinear dynamic analysis of an arch bridge using STAAD Pro V8i software with earthquake loading is the subject of this research. Due to their easy load bearing qualities, arch bridges with short and medium spans are currently being constructed frequently for traffic bypass. Therefore, it is necessary to assess its stability in the event of a powerful earthquake. The STAAD-modeled arch bridge's nonlinear, time history analysis. The research in this study uses pro. For Time History analysis, data from the Bhuj Earthquake of 2001 is used, and the Rudramata Bridge, which collapsed during the Bhuj Earthquake, is researched. The primary focus of this study is on the analysis of the displacement, time-velocity, and time- acceleration responses of an arch bridge to lateral loads. And the results demonstrate that the displacement for the arch bridge is less than that for the Rudramata Bridge in all three directions.

Abstract:
Arch bridges which have existed since thousands years ago showed surprising durability. Due to the aesthetic value of arch bridges, it is widely used as crossing over valleys and rivers nowadays. Closed spandrel arch bridge is one type of arch bridges that has been developed using precast concrete technology since 1965. Currently, the available Precast Concrete Arch Bridge Systems are BEBO arch, Matiere arch, CON/SPAN arch, TechSpan arch, NUCON arch, Concrete-Filled FRP Tube arch, Flexi-Arch, Rivo CS-P Series arch and Pearl Chain arch. In this paper, development of the Precast Concrete Closed Spandrel Arch Bridge System is reviewed. The advantanges of precast closed spandrel arch bridge system will also be briefly presented. Comparisons in terms of arch sections, moulding, handling, transporting and installing among different Precast Concrete Closed Spandrel Arch Bridge Systems are also highlighted.

Abstract:
Long-span deck-type beam-arch composite rigid frame (BACRF) bridge fully integrates the merits of arch bridges and beam bridges, and overcomes the cracking and deflection problems of continuous rigid frame bridges. As a perfect combination of beam bridges and arch bridges, the long-span deck-type BACRF bridge boasts a light structure, a strong bearing capacity, and a powerful spanning capability. From the perspective of mechanical system evolution, this paper theoretically analyzes the structural mechanics of the beam-arch composite system, establishes a half-bridge model for BACRF bridge, and derives the expressions of the internal force and displacement of the beam-arch composite system. Next, finite-element analysis was conducted to analyze how the variation of a single parameter, e.g., rise-span ratio, open web ratio, and side-to-middle span ratio, affects midspan displacement, arch-beam junction displacement, main beam bending moment, and main arch axial force. Finally, the calculation formula for deflection-span ratio of BACRF bridge was proposed based on the maximum hyperplane method. The research results provide a reference for the structural design of similar bridges.

Abstract:
Taking arch bridges, including deck, half-through, and through arch bridges (short for DAB, HTAB, and TAB) as examples, mechanics analysis models of longitudinal interaction between continuously welded rails (short for CWRs) and arch bridges are established. Based on the finite element method (FEM), the longitudinal interaction calculation software of CWR on arch bridges has been developed. Focusing on an HTAB, the tension, compression, and deflection conditions are calculated and analyzed. The results show that the mechanics analysis models of three types of arch bridges can truly reflect the real state of the structure; the calculation software can be used for systematic research of the CWR on arch bridge; as for HTAB, temperature difference of arch rib has a small effect on rail tension/compression, and arch bridge can be simplified as a continuous beam for rail tension/compression additional force calculation; in calculation of deflection conditions of HTAB, it is suggested that train loads are arranged on half span and full span and take the direction of load entering bridge into account. Additionally, the deflection additional force variation of CFST basket handle arch bridge is different from that of ordinary bridge.

Abstract:
With the application of the composition material-concrete-filled-steel-tube (CFST) in civil engineering, the crossing ability of arch bridge gets advanced development. Therefore, it is of interesting to study the stability of such long-span arch bridges, especially which have small width, for the bridge’s safety under long term operation. The present study focuses on studies the transverse stability of long-span arch bridges with small width. To this purpose, a deck type CFST arch-bridge in Gansu Province is adopted as an example. The arch bridge has a span of 180 m, and its width-span ratio is 1/25.7. The finite element method with a special beam element is employed to analyze the stability. The analyses are carried out for the transverse stability of the bridge during construction and under service, respectively. Furthermore, the influence of the spandrel structure and deck elastic restraints to the stability is investigated taking account of geometrical and material nonlinearity.

Abstract:
A long-span cable-stayed arch bridge is a new form of bridge structure that combines features of cable-stayed bridges with characteristics of arch bridges. In the present study, we derived a practical calculation method for the lateral destabilization critical loading of cable-stayed arch bridges during the construction process based the energy principle. The validity of the method was verified with an example. The calculation method provides a quick and efficient way to evaluate the lateral stability of a cable-stayed arch bridge and a concrete filled steel tubular arch bridge during the construction process.

Abstract:
With the social progress and the rapid development of people's economic level, people pay more and more attention to the external image of bridges, which greatly promotes the emergence and development of special-shaped arch bridges. But because of the particularity of the special-shaped arch bridge structure, its plane stress characteristics, which are different from the traditional arch bridge, become more complex. In this paper, three types of arch bridges commonly seen in special-shaped arch bridges: leaning type, inclined span type and butterfly type arch bridges are selected for a brief structural stress analysis. The results show that most of the arch structures of special-shaped arch bridges only play an auxiliary role in bearing loads, and due to the more complex stress, the finite element analysis software needs to be used to optimize the structure for many times to reach a relatively reasonable range. In addition, some arch structures are used more for aesthetic purposes than to bear loads, and their mechanical performance is basically zero.

Abstract:
It is well-known that in modern through and half-through arch bridges the suspenders are important components since they connect the bridge deck and the arch ribs. The collapse of bridge deck or arch ribs may be induced once one or more suspenders are broken. In this paper, the traditional design way of the suspenders in through and half-through arch bridges is discussed first. Based on the discussion, a new way to design suspenders for arch bridges is then put forward. The reasonability and robustness of this new way is proved by a numerical example based on a real through arch bridge using the comprehensive commercial software ANSYS. It can be concluded from the analysis in this paper that the new way to design the suspenders for the through and half-through arch bridges can assure the safety of the bridge effectively even though one or more suspenders happen to break.

This paper discusses simple modeling and examples of masonry arch bridge analysis considering ground deformation. Preserving historicalmasonry arch bridges is important to continuing our industrial heritage for the next generations. A single-span masonry arch bridge was analyzed using the finite element method with two meshing schemes considering material nonlinearity to define reasonable modeling for such arch bridges. Results show that analytical model meshed automatically with a commercial FEM program preprocessor considering material plasticity reasonably simulates the behavior of the detailed masonry model. The effects of deformation on bridge behavior and stress distribution in arch bridges are also discussed.

This city is the third most populated city of lran which is also rich in history, art and architecture. The largest river of lranian Plateau in central part Iran which name is Zayandeh-Rud also crosses Isfahan and from the past to the present day, this river played an important role in the formation of the civilization and development of the city of lsfàhan. Therefore, due to the constant development of Isfahan throughout history, as well as the existence of a Zayandeh-Rud flow, numerous bridges were built with a various function in this city. These bridges were designed to connect water, wind, nature and the human being in a particular architectural concept. They were not just designed for passage of the individuals or just for connecting two banks of river, but their purpose was also to link spiritual advancernent and human understanding. They have been designed in the way which makes the pedestrians to stay, watch the beauty of nature, listen to it and think. Since the Isfahan’s bridges have different functions, they can be categorized into inhabited bridges.

Abstract:
In January 1999, the maximum axle weight increased from IN to 11.5t for the assessmenot f highway bridges and structures. At the samet ime, the maximum vehicle weight also increased from 38t to 44t. Highway authorities are urgently searching for a more refined assessmenmt ethod to predict the behaviour of masonry arch bridges. LUSAS finite element analysis was used to study the behaviour of masonry arch bridges. Load versus deflection curves and collapse loads are given for some of the full and large scale arches previously tested to collapse. A parametric study was also performed to determine the influence of the arch material properties and the load dispersal angle: the arch tensile strength and the load dispersal angle were found to have the most significant influence on the collapse load predictions. Repeatability tests were carried out by building three nominally identical large scale arch bridges in the laboratory and testing them to collapse. The first, second and third arches collapsed at 2lkNm', 16kNm', and 25kNm 1 respectively. Finite element analysis predicted a range of 18kNm' to 39kNm 1 for the same arches. This led to an examination of a statistical, risk based, approach to bridge assessment. Two novel risk assessment programs were developed by integrating Monte Carlo simulation with the MEXE and the mechanism methods. Statistical information about the predicted collapse load and allowable axle load is given. These risk assessment tools are offered for incorporation within routine assessmenmt ethods. Their principal benefit lies in providing engineers with a feel for the reliability of their analyses. A modification has been made to the mechanism method by considering arch deflection. A mechanism prediction is accurate only when all the forces and their positions are accurately located. The modified mechanism method was used to analyse some of the full scale arch bridges, previously tested to collapse, which revealed that arch deflections had a significant influence on the collapse load prediction.

Trussed arch bridges are commonly used to attain big spans. They are efficient structures that offer a wide range of geometries, materials, and topologies. This thesis studies the influence of the geometry and topology of arch bridges on both their structural performance relayed by the maximum deflection and their structural weight. Various materials are also considered to calculate the embodied carbon emission and investigate the environmental impact of arch bridges. Gustave Eiffel's Garabit Viaduct is used as a design precedent for this study. 2-D and 3-D parametric models of the arch bridge are realized using Grasshopper [8]. Changing the geometric parameters in addition to the topology enables the investigation of the bridge's performance. The cross sections are automatically optimized in each case. Furthermore, a multi-objective optimization process was run on the bridge to examine the tradeoffs between the deflection and the self-weight. The weight-oriented optimization allows saving more than 60% of the weight compared to the original structure. Analyzing the different resulting designs proves that increasing the depth at the arch's crown and the depth at the base of the arch leads to better deflection results. It also demonstrates that using a denser truss structure leads to a lighter structure.

Abstract:
Masonry arch bridges continue to play an important role in the UK's transport infrastructure, forming a significant proportion of road, rail and waterway crossings. Many of these bridges are relatively old and are still in service in their original configuration. Increasing vehicle loads and speeds have highlighted the need for reliable estimates of both ultimate and serviceability load levels. Most experimental work and assessment methods have so far been carried out under ultimate load. Only limited work has been undertaken to date on serviceability assessment methods, this project therefore aims to develop a systematic method to assess the serviceability load of masonry bridges under a series of different serviceability criteria. A complex spreadsheet was developed as the main analytical tool for the serviceability assessment and was an encastered elastic analysis based on Castigliano's complementary energy method. The geometric data from a large number of real masonry bridges data was gathered and analysed to develop suitable distribution statistics. Three independent serviceability criteria were then developed based on an attempt to replicate, on average, the existing assessment methods. These three criteria are stress, deflection and cracking depth. Finally, a serviceability assessment method system was fully established within the developed spreadsheet.

Abstract:
European Community directives now insist upon the imposition of 11.5t axle weights for the assessment of highway bridges and structures. This need for heavier loads arises from the Community wide harmonisation of transport policy. Its successful implementation requires the urgent assessment of our bridge stock of some 75000 masonry arches. The analysis of arch bridges has long lacked an accurate method of assessing the loads transmitted to the arch ring by the surrounding soil. This thesis proposes pressure distributions suitable for use in the analysis of arch bridges. It examines, by way of instrumented small scale and in-situ tests, the soil-structure interaction effects arising from the backfill material. Observations of zones of soil displacement around a loaded arch are made in order to better describe the interactive effects. A finite element analysis of the instrumented tests was done and a parametric study was used to assess the effects of various material properties upon the system's behaviour. The inclusion of the interactive effects observed, and modelled, intends to lead to cost savings in the arch bridge assessment programme by reducing the conservatism inherent in the most common assessment methods. Design curves incorporating soil-structure interaction effects are presented where significant capacity increases can be seen compared with analyses ignoring the effects.

Abstract:
<p>This paper is about the assessment of masonry arch bridges in the Netherlands. A large part of the public road network in old city centres is still formed by masonry arch bridges. The general question of the local authorities is “can masonry arch bridges withstand motorised traffic including busses and occasionally heavy trucks?” Nonlinear finite element analysis in PLAXIS is applied for the assessment of the failure behaviour of the structure and its limits related to cracking and failure loading. A proof-loading of a real bridge increased the reliability of the calculation methodology. To assess a large group of single span masonry arch bridges, suggestions for a risk-based approach are made.</p>

Abstract:
<p>The design and construction process of the unique cycling bridges at Lake Tisza are presented in this article. The 4 new bridges are parts of the closing segment of the cycle route around the artificial reservoir, which is a popular tourist destination in Hungary, and part of the UNESCO World Heritage. The proximity of the natural environment motivated the use of organic, flowing shapes.</p><p>The unique Eger- and Szomorka bridges are independent continuous half-through arch bridges, 8 spans with a total length of 308.46m, and 3 spans with a total length of 86.30 m, respectively. The bridge over River Tisza is a 5 span bridge with a total length of 279.47 m, which is placed on the extended piers of the existing roadway bridge. It consists of 2 deck truss bridges on the side-spans and 3 network arch bridges in the mid- spans. A 5.70 m span bascule bridge over one of the draining canals of the lake was also accomplished as part of the project.</p><p>The Eger and Szomorka bridges are internationally unique due to the fact that the Designers have dreamed a continuous sinusoid wave on the supports; which, by twirling under and above the deck, results in a continuous structure. The successful construction of the Tisza River Bridge also required some special and unprecedented construction methods.</p>

Abstract:
<p>The main bridge of the Pingnan Third Bridge is a half-through concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) arch bridge with a world-largest effective span of 560 m. Due to the significant breakthrough in span and the adverse environmental features of construction site, many technological difficulties were encountered in construction of the Pingnan Third Bridge. Accordingly, systematic innovative technologies on design, construction, material and management of large-span CFST arch bridges were proposed, and fairly remarkable technological and economic benefits were achieved in this bridge. Meanwhile, considering the proposed technologies have solved several key general bottlenecks of extra-large arch bridges, especially CFST arch bridges, the technologies can also be good references for other similar bridges in the future.</p>

Abstract:
<p>Curved arch bridges with curved deck supported by an inclined arch either through web members or without are studied. Reference to shell-supported bridges is first made. It must be taken into account that even if the deck is supported by a shell, its bottom free edge (usually stiffened) is described by a thrust line, so that the shell connects the curved deck (that is a horizontal arch) with an inclined 3D funicular arch. A limit case is that the ring girder of the curved deck and the funicular arch merge dividing the shell into two parts, so that, if shell thickness tends to zero, no shell connects them. This is the case of curved bridges supported only at mid-span by an inclined arch. The efficiency of different arches is compared. Moreover, the deck can be supported not only at mid-span but also by web members connecting deck girder and inclined arch. In this latter case, the most appropriate form of the inclined arch is obtained.</p>

Abstract:
<p>Open-spandrel, concrete arch bridges were a common bridge design in the United States during the early 1900s. Many of these bridges are now urban landmarks and listed historic structures that local jurisdictions wish to rehabilitate, including widening the deck to more safely accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists. However, decades of exposure in harsh climates have led to advanced deterioration and reduced load ratings for most extant examples. Further complicating rehabilitation, the height, and arch-reliant behavior of these bridges make construction access, staging, and maintenance of traffic difficult. Drawing upon the authors’ experience with several bridges of this type, this paper discusses best practices and special considerations for investigating and rehabilitating historic concrete arch bridges to extend their life.</p>

Abstract:
<p>Cable corrosion has been becoming significant issues for the bridge structures having with cable or hanger materials, such as suspension bridges, cable-stayed bridges, tied arch bridges and so on. Many of these bridges, which were built in 1980s and 90s, are possibly surviving under the cable corrosion. Existing tied arch bridge was collapsed in Taiwan in 2019. It is reported that cable corrosion is the one of the main reasons to trigger the entire bridge collapsed. In this study, the numerical bridge model inspired by the Taiwan arch bridge was designed for analyzing the dynamic analysis of chain reaction failure considering with the cable corrosion. The corrosion of cable is represented by the decreasing of yield stress and breakage strain, and the first ruptured cable which is represented by the decreasing tensile force instantly. According to this analysis, if the cables are corroded significantly, the chain reaction failure would be occurred.</p>

Abstract:
<p>The 130 km long Albert canal linking Liège with Antwerp in Belgium was built in the years 1930. The growing size of the inland vessels led to the start of a modernisation of the canal. The widening began in the years 1970. Since the years 1980, most of the bridges are being jacked up, or replaced. In the beginning, each new bridge was separately designed, which led to a variety of bridge types and forms. To accelerate the replacement of the bridges, a generic tied-arch bridge has been designed, good for one third of the total number of bridges. This article presents the general overview of the works on the bridges due to the widening of the canal, and the focusses specific on the design of tied-arch bridges, with a special attention of this generic bridge.</p>
