Abstract
In this paper a basilica-type church is analysed in order to assess its structural behaviour and its seismic vulnerability with respect to the actual state of conser-vation. A quasi-static approach for the evaluation of the seismic loads have been used (as indeed common in many analyses of the seismic behaviour of masonry structures). The comparison demand vs. capacity confirms the susceptibility of this type of buildings to extensive damage and possibly to collapse, as frequently observed.
