摘要

This paper investigates the geometric design and structural performance of medieval church portals. The research focuses on two marble portals from the Studenica Monastery in Serbia, completed before 1209. Unique incised drawings of the archivolts of these two portals, preserved on the church walls, offer authentic and rare evidence of medieval design practices. Using 3D modeling and stress simulations in SolidWorks and Diana FEA software, the study demonstrates how geometric configurations influence load distribution, stability, and resilience. The findings highlight the critical role of geometry in construction of Romanesque portals and provide a methodological framework and protocols applicable to similar structures. These protocols support preservation and conservation strategies for medieval architectural heritage by combining historical analysis with engineering technologies and advanced computational methods.
