Static and Dynamic Analysis of the Old Stone Bridge in Mostar

The paper presents the results of static and dynamic analysis of the bridge, based on the previously developed numerical model for analysis of masonry structures. The model can simulate the most important nonlinear effects of stone masonry as well as the change of the system geometry. For spatial discretization of the bridge, two planar models were considered. The effects of static vertical loadings, temperature changes and real scaled earthquake were investigated on the bridge response. The results of the performed analyses determine the actual stress states and damages of the bridge for considered loads. Probable causes of cracking in the stone arch were specified.
