The importance of masonry arch bridges as a traffic network element calls for a thorough
analysis focused on both structural stability and loading capacity of these historical structures, considering
the usage of these bridges in contemporary traffic conditions. This paper focuses on the analysis
of longitudinal cracks in a single span masonry arch bridge to evaluate its influence on structural
behaviour of the system. As longitudinal cracks do not necessarily present an inevitable collapse
mechanism, analysis of the causes is crucial for evaluating the serviceability and functionality of the
bridge investigated. The methodology is based on the following: literature review, observation of the
stone bridge in Ivanjica, geological testing of the site, geophysical testing of the bridge, laboratory
testing of mechanical characteristics of stone used for the bridge construction and biological analysis
of the samples of implemented materials on the bridge. Finite element analysis of... the bridge was
conducted to define the causes of the longitudinal cracks. The 3D simulation model was based on
the data collected through observation and experimental analysis. This paper provides extensive
research on a single span masonry bridge, examining how different deterioration mechanisms, in
conjunction, can lead to the appearance of cracks in masonry arch bridges and provide remedial
measures accordingly.
