2 The NOS code is a finite element solver for nonlinear analyses. Masonry is modelled by a nonlinear isotropic elastic material with zero tensile strength and limited compressive strength (masonry-like or notension material). [G. Del Piero, Meccanica 1989; S. Di Pasquale, Meccanica 1992; M. Lucchesi, C. Padovani et al., Masonry Constructions and Numerical pplications, Springer 2008]. Static analyses Dynamic analyses Thermo-mechanical analyses Stress fields Collapse loads Elastic, fracture and crushing strain fields Displacement fields Temperature fields Time- histories NOS library: beam, shell, 2D, 3D elements (17 elements) The NOS version for static analyses is freely downloadable by 2 2

18 Conclusions The NOS code is a finite element code for static and dynamic nonlinear analyses of masonry structures. The version for static analyses is freely downloadable. Masonry is modelled by means of a masonry-like constitutive equation with zero tensile strength and finite or infinite compressive strength. case study has been presented in which the seismic vulnerability of the Rognosa Tower in San Gimignano is assessed by means of a dynamic numerical analysis conducted via NOS code. The NOS-ITC project aims to upgrade the NOS code and disseminate the use of numerical tools in the field of maintenance and restoration of the architectural heritage.
