The methodology is presented through the application to an illustrative case study: an early medieval period brick minaret located in Aksaray (Turkey). Precise direction of inclination, leaning angle, local deviations from circular building shape, deflections from vertical planes, local curvatures and related maps were obtained with high accuracy by DA, based on detailed point cloud 3D mesh model. In addition, differently from traditional approaches in FE analysis, a method for direct transfer of high accuracy TLS based 3D model to FE structural analysis is introduced. The FE model is subsequently employed to interpret and verify structural health of the historic building.en10.1088/1757-899X/364/1/012085info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTerrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS)Deviation Analysis (DA)Cultural Heritage (CH)Finite Element (FE) modellingStructural analysisHealth assessmentConference Object364N/AWOS:000452025100085N/A
