Masonry Arch Bridges in Long-Term Operation on Slovak Railway Network
Masonry arch bridges., in addition to the numerous predominance of traditional bridge structures, form an integral part of the railway infrastructure They are among the oldest types of railway bridges, which despite their advanced age (more than 100 years), still reliably serve their purpose with the increased demands of current railway operations. Many of them currently belong to technical monuments and therefore when choosing the maintenance of masonry arches, emphasis should be placed on the method of their repair, reconstruction and possible strengthening. The presented paper maps the current state of these types of bridges in the Slovak Railway network (ŽSR). The selected representative arch bridge is subjected to numerical analysis (LimitState Ring) with emphasis on taking into account the influence of degradation of material elements and local defects on its resulting load-carrying capacity.
