  • Description
    • Masonry churches are particularly prone to damages and partial or global collapses when subjected to horizontal actions. High seismic vulnerability of these ancient buildings can be associated both to the particular configuration of this type of constructions and to the mechanical properties of the masonry “material”. Basilica churches have been selected in this study because of this typology is widely spread all over the national territory and is characterized by the presence of typical constituting elements so that a generalization of results obtained from a small group of study cases to a larger sample of religious buildings is possible.
