The results of a simple computer program for the assessment of masonry arch bridges, based on the mechanism method developed by Heyman at the end of sixties, are discussed in this paper. It is shown, by means of a parametrical analysis, that the position of hinges and the safety factor of the bridge are strongly dependent on the load function shape, so that the collapse mechanism in the case of symmetric load needs the presence of six hinges. The study is applied to circular arches, with different parabolic load functions. It is shown that in some cases the safety degree can be improved or reduced by means of simple interventions related to the load distribution.On present, par cette communication, les résultats d’un simple programme...
