A comparison between the MEXE and Pippard's methods of assessing the load carrying capacity of masonry arch bridges (2013)
Journal Article
Wang, J., Haynes, B., & Melbourne, C. (2013). A comparison between the MEXE and Pippard's methods of assessing the load carrying capacity of masonry arch bridges

The Military Engineering eXperimental Establishment (MEXE) method is a long established system of masonry arch load carrying capacity assessment. It has been subject to review in recent years and some shortcomings have been identified. There is now g...

Critical review of research on high-cycle fatigue behaviour of brick masonry (2013)
Journal Article
Wang, J., Tomor, A., Melbourne, C., & Yousif, S. (2013). Critical review of research on high-cycle fatigue behaviour of brick masonry. Construction and Building Materials, 38, 602-609. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2012.09.010

Prediction of the level of service load above which accumulative damage occurs is a key priority for the masonry arch bridge owners. Limited investigations have been undertaken previously on the high-cycle fatigue behaviour of brick masonry in order...
