- Assess the current methods used for bridge analysis
- Consider the simplifying assumptions for each method in relation to the backfill
- Comparison of soil-structure interaction for the methods used in current practice
- Create a simple arch barrel model which will become progressively complex as the study progresses
- Create a model of soil-arch interaction
- Gain a better understanding of the complex nature of soil-arch interaction
The purpose of this site is to disseminate information relating to finite element analyses of masonry arch bridges and the current techniques employed to analyse them. The information will be gathered during a MEng Civil and Architectural Engineering Degree at the University of Salford.
