| Abstract |
The construction types of the arched stone bridges show generally the semi-circled shapes. But, the several types have been constructed by considering the height-width ratios according to the installation locations. The arched stone bridges with the various arched types have the different load transfer mechanism and show the different structural behavior according to the axis variation. Therefore, this study analyzes the mechanical behavior characteristics according to the various arched types and applies the discrete element method for the modelling and analysis of discontinuum structure. |
