Abstract In Korea, the occurrence frequency of earthquakes has recently increased, compared with the past. So, the various damages for cultural properties due to earthquake can be expected, and especially the masonry stone pagoda structure is vulnerable to earthquake. Therefore, the resonable seismic performance evaluation is required to secure the safety for the stone pagoda structure with the various configuration types. To this end, this study classifies the stone pagoda structures according to the construction and configuration types, aspect ratios, and then applies the discrete element method to model and analyze the masonry structures. Finally, the seismic performance is evaluated through the allowable story drifts due to the analysis results considering the various design variables.
