Abstract
Since the preservation of monuments is very important to human societies, different methods are required to preserve historic structures. In this paper, 3D model of arch stone bridge at Pont Saint Martin, Aosta, Italy, was simulated by 1660 integrated separate stones using ABAQUS
Key Words
historical stone bridge; spandrel walls; finite element simulation; ABAQUS; modeling; dynamic loads; earthquake resistant structure
