Abstract

The churche of St Vitale, VI Cent., is one of the largest examples of a dome built by clay tubes. The aim of the paper, by means of a finite element program, in order to account for the orthotropic behaviour of the composite material, is to verify the possibility that this particular dome was built without scaffoldings.
