Resumen: This work proposes a methodology, based on finite element simulation, for analyzing masonry historical structures, according to Eurocodes, that has been applied for the assessment of the Saint Sebastian church, located in Piedratajada (Zaragoza, Spain). Settlement pathologies were detected and the aim of the work is to verify the current safety level and to propose reinforcement solutions if necessary. Results confirm the effect of soil settlement and allow establish the maximum admissible value. If that value is reached, a couple of reinforcement solutions, installing sheets of steel or carbon fiber composite, are proposed and analyzed.
