Historical review of masonry arch bridges; fault which is common to vast majority of masonry arches is that they are not waterproof; possibilities of crack formation in arch elements, and various methods of elimination of arch damage; main cause of damage to abutments is scour which is eliminated by deepening abutments, or subsoil grouting; walls may be damaged either by bulges, disintegration by vegetable growth, or by freezing; bridge widening is performed by reinforced concrete slab cantilevers.
