Abstract
This chapter refers to the problems of the computational modelling of masonry structures due to earthquake and vibration effects. After a general survey covering the effect of earthquake and vibration loads on civil engineering structures, the investigation focuses on masonry structures. Modelling refers to structural, material and action simulation. Two case studies illustrate the proposed general methodology.
