This　paper　discusses　the　possible　application　of　finite　element　non-linear　modelling　to　a　construction　system　using　precast　concrete　panels.　Details　are　given　of　the　shell　elements　used　for　modelling　panels　and　joints,　focusing　in　detail　on　the　non-linear　law　conferred　to　the　link　elements　used　to　represent　resistance　to　relative　sliding　movement　at　the　interface　among　panels.　The　paper　relates　in　particular　to　an　emulative　system　using　cast-in-place　joints,　without　transverse　reinforcement.　Also　the　results　of　pushover　analyses,　conducted　first　on　a　single　wall　(with　the　purpose　of　studying　the　effect　of　joint　failure　on　the　capacity　of　the　system),　then　on　an　entire　building　erected　using　the　same　construction　system　are　presented,　assessing　the　applicability　in　seismic　regions　and　considering　different　numbers　of　storeys.
