The region of Carpathian Serbia is much dominated by karst terrain with numerous geological and geomorphological features, especially caves and natural stone bridges, potentially significant for ...geotourism development. The geotourism potential of these sites is still largely untapped. In this paper, we analyze several natural stone bridges that possess geotourism potential. These sites include Velika Vratna, Mala Vratna, Suva Vratna, Samar, Valja, Osanica and Rajska stone bridge. This study aims to identify and evaluate the current state and geotourism potential of natural stone bridges as important resources for the development of karst geotourism in Carpathian Serbia by applying the Modified Geosite Assessment Model (M-GAM). The results indicate that the Vratna River basin currently has the best-rated Main Values, but it comes short for Additional Values, especially tourism infrastructure meaning that this should be the primary focus of any future geotourism development of this site. On the other hand, Valja stone bridge has the highest Additional Values but still with plenty of room for improvement. The paper also indicates the importance of other karst features in the vicinity and their role in completing the geotourism offer of this area.
This research concerns the use of warped ruled surfaces in the load bearing structures of 19th century stone bridges in Prague. The descriptions of a skew arch used at The Negrelli Viaduct and a ...special surface called “corne de vache” used at The Legion Bridge are based not only on historical survey, archival materials and period publications, but also on contemporary measurements.
From around the 1860s small stone arch bridges formed a vernacular architectural solution to the problem of stream-crossing on the road along Lyttelton Harbour in Canterbury, New Zealand. This ...article presents an archaeological study of one of these bridges, known as Radcliffe Bridge, and its relationship with an adjoining 19th-century accommodation house. It describes the design and construction of the bridge with a consideration of the interplay of local environmental and historical factors which influenced the utilisation of the structure. It goes on to explore local impacts of the bridge, specifically its relationship with the development of the adjacent accommodation house. It is shown that both the bridge and accommodation house formed interlinked components bound up with the development of the local transport network. This highlights an aspect of the interconnectedness of various elements that make up colonial, land-based transport networks in 19th-century New Zealand.
The basic characteristics of the three historic stone arch bridges over the Cetina River in Croatia are presented first. The bridges are under the protection of the Ministry of Culture of the ...Republic of Croatia as valuable architectural heritage. The current state of the bridges is then presented, and the main solution of the renovation and strengthening of the bridges is briefly explained. A conclusion is reached that the renovation of the bridges was performed successfully, with excellent cooperation between the engineers and the conservators.

This paper describes the development of roads on Norfolk Island and identifies historic bridges and bridge sites. Pier Street bridge is conventionally dated 1835, but is dated here as before ...1829-Australia's second-oldest bridge. Bounty Street bridge has an unusual structural form. The remarkable rise in tide in 1834 is also described.
