“…The traditional 2 and modern views of vault analysis end up to the samefundamental conclusion: the overall importance of geometry. Essential condition for the material: the internalforces must be compressive [1].The role of some constructive aspects (brick pattern) on the shear in-plane capacity of masonry barrel vaults has been study and the results of the numerical simulations have highlighted that the brick pattern greatly influences the structural behaviour of vaults subjected to horizontal settlement of the abutments in terms of ultimate capacity,ductility and collapse mechanism [2].…”

Evaluation of structural behaviour of a masonry Venetian Church with pointed vault, is presented in this paper through an analysis following the neccessary steps of a monument study. Having a detailed geometric model and the material estimation, the finite element method was used in order the influence of specific structural parts of the structure like masonry butresses and walls connections to the structural behaviour are examined. The comparison of the eigenfrequencies which are estimated by in situ measurements and finite element modal analysis is used to model identification. The response spectrum analysis, the static analysis for subsidence of some parts and the transient analysis of a specific seismic excitation are used to evaluation of the church strength. Comparison of modal analysis results with the structural pathology is helpful to this research about the structural behaviour of the church.
