A 2D plane stress finite-element model for the masonry arch bridge is shown in Fig. 5. The brick masonry was assumed to have a modulus of 1,800 MPa, Poisson’s ratio of 0.2, and a specific fracture energy of 5.8 N-m/m2. The soil infill was idealized to have a modulus of 800 MPa, with a Poisson’s ratio of 0.18. A relatively small tensile strength of 0.3 MPa was assumed for the masonry, with a similar value of 0.3 MPa for the infill. These values are obtained through an iterative process of model calibration using the field measurements of the static load deflection and quasi-static moving load studies. The boundary condition on the vertical face of the abutment (left end of Span 2) is restrained in the longitudinal traffic direction, and the base of the abutments and central pier is constrained in the horizontal and vertical directions. The boundary at the right abutment of Span 1 is elastically constrained for longitudinal movement using linear springs (the value of this spring constant is reported later).
