Abstract:

The bridge at Aldochlay in the Strathclyde region is small and is constructed from random rubble masonry. It shows no sign of distress, but it became clear very early in the assessment process that different types of analysis yielded very different answers for this structure. The example describes the root causes of some of these conflicts. Bargower is a semicircular bridge constructed from dressed sandstone and has a 10-m span. Its behavior is influenced by various effects of soil pressure and soil-structure interaction that are not well represented in many analytical approaches.
