Abstract: In this paper, a masonry bridge is simulated in order to assess both its structural and seismic vulnerability. Therefore, the present study aimed to approximately analyze the real behavior of Mikron Bridge structure. The modeling was conducted by combining the finite element method (FEM) and discrete element method (DEM) using the ABAQUS® software. By comparing the results of numerical and experimental modal analyses, the accuracy of simulation was verified. To simulate the seismic behavior of the Mikron Bridge, the component of Erzincan earthquake occurred in 1992 was used. The results extracted from the seismic analysis show that some parts of the bridge structure are damaged but not destroyed.
