This article presents information related to arch bridges. The foundations for arch bridges are more complicated than for simply supported bridges but very often there is resistance to the induced thrust available from the banks of the river. Engineers have also built tied arches using stress lamination and they do not need any thrust resistance. A masonry arch cannot permit much lateral settlement but an elastic timber arch can tolerate substantial movement provided that it retains its arch profile. |
