The seismic analysis of historical and monumental masonry buildings, especially churches cathedrals, is challenging expensive. These difficulties are mainly related to complex geometry the mechanical modelling historic structures. This paper aims show methodological approach evaluate vulnerability Masonry Cathedrals by analysis. numerical finite element model, modelled with solid elements, was ...

We introduce a novel methodology for locally updating an existing 3D solid model of a complex monumental structure with the geometric information provided by a 3D mesh (point cloud) extracted from the digital survey of a specific sector of a monument. Solid models are fundamental for engineering analysis and conservation of monumental structures of the cultural heritage. Finite elements analysi...
