Summary
A numerical model for the study of the ultimate behaviour of a real stone arch is
presented in this paper. For the exact representation of the geometry, terrestial
photogrammetry is used since the geometry deviations and damage influence the
mechanical behaviour of existing structures. A finite element analysis damage model
is then developed. The model is validated in a single arch, where comparison with a
discrete computational model is considered. The classical four hinge mechanism
appears in the arch. A model of the whole structure is finally developed. Results
show how damage is developed in the body of the arch, for loadings that include
forces, or vertical and transverse displacements in the supports.
