| Resumo: | This paper deals with the analysis and design of repair measures concerning two Portuguese masonry arch bridges, carried out at University of Minho. The first example is related with a masonry bridge built in the 19th century, composed of six pointed stone arches and located in the center of Portugal. The second example is a medieval masonry bridge composed of three semicircular stone arches and located in the North of Portugal. Repair measures adopted to re-establish the safety of the bridges are described. These measures were conceived in order to respect the modern principles of structural intervention in architectural heritage. |
