Abstract

There are many Korean traditional stone structures that have resisted successfully over more than several hundred years. However, their structural behavior is not investigated in engineering context yet. It is then difficult to predict how they behave against various loadings if they face. This paper is to investigate structural performance of the stone bridge structures based on the limit theorem. Structural performance of stone bridges are explained using possible collapse mechanisms with the corresponding thrusts whose values depend on the loads and the arch geometry.
