I've had an interest in bridges since childhood. This is a fascinating talk about masonry arched bridges, starting with a history of the development of theory about designing them and moving on to touch apon modern assessments of the condition of bridges. The speaker, Hamish Harvey also posts a near-monthly blog "Bridge of the Month" which is well worth a look.
