The cultural significance of historical buildings uniquely represents the heritage of nations. Previous destruction of historical buildings offers valuable data for researchers to document the behavior of such buildings. Non-destructive techniques, such as Finite Element Modeling (FEM), are used to investigate the complex response of historical buildings considering the linear and nonlinear Responses.
