Abstract
This paper describes work done to instrument a five-span masonry arch bridge in the centre of Belfast. The bridge was subjected to a series of abnormal loads during the construction of a new bridge nearby and the opportunity was taken to collect data on the performance of the existing bridge to enable calibration of numerical models which represent the behaviour of multi-span arch bridges.
