Health Assessment and Modal Analysis of Historical Masonry Arch Bridge
Masonry arch bridges in India indicate the heritage value of the nation. Most of these bridges had been in service for hundreds of years and yet being serviceable even today for transportation purposes indicates the robustness of the design and construction methodology. But, some of these bridges are abandoned due to its deterioration and absence of knowledge to retrofit these structures. Lack of proper maintenance and retrofitting could eventually damage the structural integrity as these structures are old enough to deteriorate and are prone to repeated weathering and unforeseen natural calamities such as earthquakes, floods, etc. In this study, a very old masonry arch bridge ‘Puranapul’ bridge inaugurated in the year 1578 across the river Musi in Hyderabad is considered for investigation of its health through basic visual inspection and non-destructive testing. Furthermore, the same is numerically modeled using the available finite element analysis software ANSYS in three dimensions for assessing the basic mode shapes of the structure and its behavior in different loading conditions.
