Abstract
The dynamic behavior of slender stone structures, like obelisks and columns is studied. Using a rigid model, it is demonstrated that they are little sensitive to seismic risk because of their low period of oscillation. This result, obtained from Numerical Stimulations, is made clearer by analytical solution found for the case of harmonic excitation.
