Morphological modeling and structural analysis of architectural slender geometries. The medieval town wall of Pisa

This paper explores the links between architecture drawing and structural analysis. according multidisciplinary research. Different approaches can be used to model and to analyze. masonry behavior. Particularly, the geometric modeling has been tested and evaluated in relation to. the structural model, to the data exchange parameters between LS3D and the structural software,. according to the standard techniques of architectural representation and structural modeling. The. experiment was tested on a segment of the medieval town wall of Pisa, defining a protocol. integrating the geometrical models and simplified structural methods that well be tested and. improved through other case studies.
