Popis: This paper deals with the earthquake response of the historic traditional buildings of Lefkas Island, Greece. These structures have up to four storeys and are located in the central area of the Lefkas town. The main characteristic of these buildings is their dual bearing system, which consists of a spatial timber multi-storey system and a single-storey masonry wall system, respectively. The multi-storey wooden system possesses in elevation various diagonal trusses infilled by bricks with lime mortar. The top of the building is spatially connected by means of a tiled wooden truss roof. During the strong earthquake at Lefkas Island (August 14, 2003) the earthquake behavior of the above-mentioned buildings was very good. Only damages that could be repaired (without total collapse) were observed, e.g. partial collapse of masonry walls at ground floor, various cracks in the vicinity of masonry openings. In the timber multi-storey frames many bricks cracked and fell out of plane, but otherwise no significant damage was observed. In this paper, an analytical investigation of the earthquake response of such historical buildings has taken place, in order to explain their seismic damage due to the above-mentioned strong earthquake.
