       Notes - general: Abstract: There are over 40,000 masonary arch bridges
                        in the UK and a similar number of railway arches.
                        Most over a hundred years old and are expected to
                        carry loads well in excess of those common when they
                        were built.  The effect of time, and the increased
                        traffic loads that they are now required or
                        strengthened.  The cost and types of strengthening and
                        repair vary widely, and the relative benefits of the
                        various repair methods need to be quantified.
