Since masonry vaults are among the most common structural elements within European cultural heritage buildings, understanding their behavior is essential for accurately assessing how entire buildings respond to cracks and instability phenomena caused by poor maintenance, ineffective retrofitting interventions, changes in loading conditions and earthquakes. Considering the importance of this topic and the growing interest in safety and conservation of historical heritage, many architecture research studies focus on this area. The present work contributes to the REVHEAL research project, a national research initiative coordinated by the Department of Architecture and Design of Politecnico di Torino and developed in collaboration with University of Brescia.
