The paper elaborates the seismic behavior of a typical masonry building in B&H,built in the 60’s without any seismic guidelines. Numerical modelling has beendone in single software packages, namely 3MURI. In this approaches, adequate. Constitutive assumptions were assumed to take into account the nonlinearbehavior of masonry. Seismic vulnerability has been conducted by performingpushover and time history analyses. A comparison in terms of dynamicproperties, crack pattern and capacity curves was done and a good agreementhas been found between the 3 Muri software packages. The paper's aim was toassess the seismic safety of this type of construction.
