![]() ![]() After the earthquake Ljubljana also had the first seismic observatory in Austro-Hungarian Empire. The major earthquake, which hit Ljubljana in 1895, was the main cause that the first rules for construction in seismic regions were proposed. Until the end of the 19 th century the rules relating to the design of structures for earthquake resistance were not known. In history several strong earthquakes occurred in the region, which caused quite a lot of fatalities and economic losses. ![]() Over time the differences in construction have decreased, which means that the residential masonry houses constructed at the end of previous century are quite similar throughout Slovenia, which is located in an area with a medium level of seismic hazard. Introduction Several types of traditional residential houses were built in Slovenia due to the cultural and climate differences between five regions. The advantage of the proposed global model, represented at the end of the paper, is that only a few data of a house are required for its seismic performance assessment. In order to define the global model of pushover curves, the forces were normalized by the weight of the building or with respect to the average effective floor area of the walls in the given direction whereas the top displacements were normalized by the building's height. All surveyed buildings were then analysed by the pushoverbased method (N2 method) and the results were the pushover curves. Firstly a statistical analysis of important geometrical features of investigated buildings was performed. The models were developed on the basis of survey of ten masonry houses, built in the period from 1970 to 1990.
