The presence of soil backfill has been shown to have a significant influence on the
load-carrying capacity of masonry arch bridges, with the soil fill providing a number of
important functions, including inter alia, the distribution of surface load... Read More about Large-scale physical modelling of soil-filled masonry arch bridges.
