Abstract
This paper presents the structure of the arch-type stone bridge and its mechanical behavior verified by strain measurements taken during its construction. The arch-type stone bridge was constructed by combining the arch stone structure and the socket structure without the introduction of a reaction structure. The arch-type stone bridge, fitted with a socket structure on the upper part of its arch-stone structure, is created by suppressing the deformation of the arch stones. As a result of the strain measurements of the arch stones during the construction, the compressive strain levels of the arch direction were 198-244m and the temperature-strain coefficients were 5.1-10.8 m/ºC. These types of mechanical behavior verify that the arch-type stone bridge is in a stable mechanical state.
