The aim of the article is to present results of seismic analysis results of two real-sized timber frame buildings subjected to seismic excitations. The first model was insulated with mineral wool, the second one with polyurethane foam. Technology and specifications involved in both models construction is based on the previously conducted experimental research on timber frame houses, including wall panels tests, wall numerical models and study on material properties and precisely reflect results of the those research. During the seismic analysis reference node located in buildings were selected. In selected node displacement values were measured and compared between two analyzed models. The results of the numerical analysis presented in the article indicate that the application of polyurethane foam for a skeleton filling of the timber-frame building leads to the increase in stiffness as well as damping of the whole structure, which results in a considerable increase in the seismic resistance of the structure.

In North-south earthquake belt, half of more than Ms 8.0 great earthquakes were centralized since the history records were existed in our country. In order to study the typical buildings in this seismic belt, the seismic damages of the typical buildings occurred during 22 earthquakes in North-south earthquake belt, whose earthquake magnitude were more than Ms 6.0, were organized and analyzed. The seismic damage and its matrix of kinds of buildings belonging to the North-south earthquake belt in different intensities were obtained. The statistic results were obtained by comparison and analysis. According to the results of analysis, the seismic capacity of kinds of typical buildings in this region was provided: reinforced concrete frame structure showed fine seismic capability in all previous earthquake whose seismic damage was the slightest in the real statistics results; secondly were those of masonry and mortised timber frame buildings; the seismic damage of buildings, which was combined with timber frame and soil, stone, brick walls was the most serious.
