Popis: This paper presents a failure analysis of the bell tower of The Church of St. Francis of Assisi on Kaptol in Zagreb on seismic action using the Finite-Discrete Element method - FDEM. The bell tower is made of masonry, and throughout history it has had a number of damages and reconstructions. It was significantly damaged in the Zagreb and Petrinja earthquakes. The analysis was performed on a simplified FDEM 2D model, and the obtained results showed a good match between the direction of cracks in the numerical model and the cracks that occurred due to these earthquakes.
