Static and Dynamic Analysis of Stone Arch of �Allahabad University�<br>

<br>


<strong>Abstract</strong><br>

This paper aim to present the static and dynamic analysis of stone arch of historical monument building of senate
hall Allahabad University. The senate hall is old stone and masonry structure constructed in 1915 (102 year). The modelling
of arch is performed using finite element software Ansys workbench 14.0. Static and dynamic analysis results shows that
under standard gravity load of the arch, the maximum Von Mises stress are generated 2.24 MPa at middle of column main
arch. The structure is safe under gravity loading. The maximum deformation of 9.69 mm is estimated at top of the main arch.
The dynamic modal analysis of arch is performed for three mode frequencies (Hz) 0.21384, 0.70478 and 1.394.
