In the present work the ultimate failure load and the collapse mechanism ofa stone arch bridge are estimated by the usage of (a) a multi - part elastic model withunilateral contact frictional interfaces and (b) a continuous damage model. According tothe contact model, contact interfaces simulating potential cracks are considered and theiropening or sliding indicates crack initiation. The second model deals with the materialdamage consisting in the development of internal microcracks that affect the load bearingcapacity of the material. Satisfactory comparison of the results is reported here.
