Marina Šimunić-Buršić

Abstract

The CALPA computer programme, specially developed for calculating masonry structures, was used to analyze Šibenik Cathedral. It showed that masonry structures are very logical and rational. Analysis of the primary bearing structure of one bay of the cathedral section solved the unique structural system of the cathedral vaults and the repercussions the system had on the vertical substructure.
