Sumario:This master thesis deals with the vulnerability analysis of particular structural configurations of timber frames in order to determine their seismic risk. Critical issues will be analysed, such as the geometrical combinations of the structural members, the effect of different bracing systems, the behaviour of the joints, the mechanical properties of timber, etc. Some representative typologies of timber frames in Europe and Latin America will be selected for the research.
