Research paper thumbnail of Comparison between Two Traditional Earthquake-Proof Solutions: Borbone and Lefkada Timber-Frame Systems

effective solutions for earthquake-resistant buildings. Meaningful examples of this can be found within the vernacular tradition of the
Mediterranean area, which is characterized by frequently recurring seismic events. Specifically, in southern Italy and in the Greek Ionian
Islands, two interesting construction types still survive and merit special attention in relation to the structural solutions adopted, which are consistent
with modern views of earthquake-resistant design. In both cases, the mixed use of timber and masonry is present, although with different
modalities and purposes; indeed, in the Italian case, timber elements are present over the building’s entire height as an additional bracing
system, whereas in the Greek one, timber is used at the second and third stories to reduce the structural mass. In this work, two selected case
studies are presented, through which the distinctive construction details of each tradition are commented on.
