Fig. 3. Comparison in terms of displacement for the three control points according to different levels of modelling complexity.

Fig. 4. Comparison between the two modelling strategies for the 2-d models in terms of anelastic strain (Mady) and tensile damage (Abaqus).

The results of this investigation have shown that the material's tensile strength is the parameter that mostly influences the crack pattern numerically evaluated. Fig. 5 shows a comparison of the damage at the left support given
