Abstract
A representative model of built cultural heritage structure was designed using 2D and 3D numerical modelling in order to test at the laboratory and its behavior was also characterized. Large blocks assembled with mortar and masonary were used to make the structures. The results revealed that the deformation and damage patterns can be predicted accurately for the models used in the study. The behavior of the column was characterized and the material parameter of the joints were calibrated using the 3D analysis.
