Abstract: A lot of different tools are available for the assessment of masonry arch bridges:experimental formulae,2D-models and finite-element models and discrete-element models (2D as well as 3D) . Due to the complex behaviour of the arches and the disability of determine the material properties of the arch and the infill of these ancient constructions, many different suppositions have been made for the different models. Until now there is not yet a generally accepted method for assessment. This study covers a comparison of some 2D assessment tools. Three models are compared based on a case study: Ring, Archie-M and an elasto-plastic model. It is concluded that every model has advantages and disadvantages. Thus it cannot be stated which model should be preferred.
