The increasing interest in historic architecture heritage and preserving of the historical structures has led to continuous development in past 20-25 years of growing methods to analysis masonry structure. First Heyman applied plasticity method, which provided useful and easily comprehensible approach for the behaviour of masonry vault. The behaviour of masonry materials is not always agreeable to accurate treatment by the rigid-plastic simplification and the complexity of many vaulted masonry structures makes the application of rigid-plastic method difficult. These structures may subject to three dimensional effects that are not entirely addressed by the application of plastic or elastic analysis in dimensions. Progress has been made by making various formulations of three dimensional finite element analysis; including discrete element method and plasticity method which have also proven useful. Finite element analysis gives accurate prediction of the masonry structure response but on the other hand it requires very high computational skill and is time consuming. A better way of analysis could be the adoption of simplified model, such as equivalent frame approach. The equivalent frame model is not originally for the analysis of masonry structure, but the actual potentialities have not yet been completely studied. In view of wide-spread research carried out in this field, this paper attempts to present a comprehensive review of the work carried out in this field.
