Application of limit principles, derived from plastic analysis of steel structures, to masonry arch; "geometrical" factor of safety may be defined by consideration of arch of minimum thickness, of same shape as real arch; it is shown that simple analysis may be made of effect of traveling point loads; ideas are applied to analysis of two actual bridges -- stone arch between western towers of Lincoln Cathedral, and Ponte Mosca in Turbin; effect of geometry changes due to yielding of abutments is discussed.
