In the master's thesis, a non-linear seismic analysis was made according to the proposal of the draft version of the new Eurocode 8 on the case study of cultural heritage brick building - palace. In the first part of the thesis, changes in the verification of the seismic resistance of the existing brick buildings were presented. The changes related to the load-bearing capacity of the walls, the deformation capacity of the walls, and the performance of non-linear analysis. This was followed by a description of the structure of the analysed building, defining material characteristics, defining influences, and a description of the modelling of the structure. Proposals for different strengthening measures were given to improve the behaviour of structures during seismic action. The influence of seismic loading was modelled by considering the Eurocode elastic spectrum. Following the modelling description a description of the acceleration spectra as defined according to the new working version of the Eurocode was presented. Considering the requirements of the existing version of the Eurocode and the draft version of the new standard, we have performed a push-over analysis and evaluated its seismic resistance using the N2 method. Firstly, an analysis of the building in its existing state was carried out. It was then followed by an analysis of three strengthening options. In conclusion, we have compared the differences between the currently valid standard and the new draft version of the Eurocode. This was followed by a comparison of the results of the analysis according to both versions of the standard.
