DOI: 10.1016/j.ymssp.2016.06.034
Abstract: Abstract Structural monitoring and vibration-based damage identification methods are fundamental tools for condition assessment and early-stage damage identification, especially when dealing with the conservation of historical constructions and the maintenance of strategic civil structures. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.12989/sem.2020.75.2.271
Abstract: The preservation of historic masonry-arch railway bridges is of paramount importance due to their economic benefits. These bridges which belong to past centuries may nowadays be expected to carry loads higher than those for which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1680/jphmg.16.00037
Abstract: The presence of soil backfill has been shown to have a significant influence on the load-carrying capacity of masonry arch bridges, with the soil fill providing a number of important functions, inc... read more here.
