Abstract
The present work shows the seismic vulnerability analysis of three churches located in Camerino, a village that has reported extensive damages, especially to the monumental historical buildings, after the Central Italy Earthquakes. The churches were studied with local and global analysis, these last were performed using accurate 3D Finite Element Models where the post-elastic behaviour of masonry was considered by Total Strain Crack Model. The study showed as the use of non-linear static analysis is able to reproduce with good approximation the cracks provoke by the quakes.
