Original Abstract

Due to the fact that historical arch bridges nowadays are one of the oldest infrastructural buildings which are still in usage, the estimation of the Bering capacity of these structures is quite important to companies responsible for maintenance. In most cases the material parameters and the geometrical shape are unknown which Leeds to an uncertainty in the determination of the bearing behaviour. In addition the experimental program to determine the input parameters as well as to quantify stochastic properties is pointed out. By means of these stochastic material parameters the accuracy of the finite element model can be increased for a realistic and useable approach on existing historical arch bridges.
