AB - © 2018 The International Masonry Society (IMS). In this paper, a numerical study is performed to investigate the behaviour of multispan masonry arch bridges under vertical loads. An advanced masonry mesoscale finite element modelling approach is employed for the accurate response prediction up to collapse, where due account is taken of both material and geometric nonlinearities adopting separate descriptions for masonry units and mortar joints. The adopted modelling strategy, validated against experimental results, is used to conduct a parametric investigation to evaluate the most important geometrical parameters that affect the bridge response. Comparisons are also made with the response of single-span bridges to shed some light on the effects due to the interaction between adjacent spans.
