I know it's not much, but I'm saving the real stuff for brickfest . I won't be able to respond to this post, for I'm going away for the next two weeks. I be back soon!

That's a great bridge! I never thought of making a bridge like that. Now I'm going to make a bridge like that for my village! I hope you don't mind me using your idea.
Keep up the good work!
And that's a great little bridge. Simple, but very imaginative, using an approach I've not seen before. I like it a lot. Must copy.

I was always wondering about that. I called it Mock, but I think he uses it as M.O.C. since it stands for something. But S.N.O.T. just doesn't work. Neither does P.O.O.P., B.U.R.P., etc.
Great bridge, I really like how you made it curve. Awesome.
Now that is one cool bridge! Yet another idea for me to steal...

That bridge is really neat! I too have seen it done to line the inside of an arch, and I even tried it once, without success. However, I'll have to see if I can build this one successfully. The picture is much clearer as far as how the pieces need to be arranged than the one I was trying to copy before. Thank you for posting this!

My guess is that it holds up quite well. It utilizes the same principle that an actual stone arch does, with the stones pressing against each other to transfer the force down into the support or the ground. Those appear to be the one-piece black arches, so unless they detach from the green plates they should be fine under normal use. If it needed to be strengthened, the whole assembly could be attached to a baseplate. The only potential weak point I can see is if a rotational force is applied to one of the plates in the deck, causing it to slip due to the gap at the top of each consecutive set of plates.
P.S. Don't ask a question about the structural integrity of a bridge when there's a civil engineer around to (try to) explain it!
