Abstract
This paper describes how 2D and 3D numerical modelling can be used in order to design a representative model of a built cultural heritage structure to test at the laboratory and to characterize its behaviour. Details on the m odels, starting from mesh generation and material description up to their n on-linear results, are given and discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
