| Sumario: | This paper aims to present a systematic framework for material characterisation to assess brickwork masonry arch bridges. An extensive laboratory campaign was carried out to characterise brickwork and backfill material in masonry arch bridges. Initially, the strength and Young’s modulus of bricks and mortar, as well as the internal friction angle and cohesion of the backfill materials (e.g., crushed limestone and puddling clay), were characterised by undertaking small-scale material level tests. |
