Abstract
⺠A FE model for the seismic analysis of a triple-arched masonry bridge is presented. ⺠The seismic capacity is assessed by means of pushover and time-history analyses. ⺠The top and the centre of mass are chosen as the control nodes in the FE analyses. ⺠The pushover results slightly overestimate the time-history average predictions. ⺠The choice of the control node in the centre of mass leads to more reliable results.
