From masonry arch to elastic arch
The logical side of the history of masonry arch theory is presented as the transformation from the analysis of the rigid multi‐body system of the masonry arch (wedge, voussoir rotation and line of thrust theories) to elastic arch analysis. Special attention is paid to the changing relationship between empiricism and theory in the building of masonry bridges. The review of the historical masonry arch theory of Jacques Heyman is followed by an outline of newer numerical engineering methods for analysing masonry arches. An epistemological classification of masonry arch theories concludes this chapter.
