In the thesis precast timber houses are addressed. Analyzed is a simplified version of two-story house, which is located in Ajdovščina and which was built in 2013 by RIMA HIŠE. An emphasis is given on modeling of the joints between the wooden structural components and concrete foundation, where project design document prescribed connectors of type KR285 and AE116, and joints between wooden wall and wooden floor panel, where project design document specifies the connectors of type KR285 and ABR70. The effective stiffness of the joints was assessed on the basis of experimental results for similar connectors. For comparison, a model with rigid joint was also analyzed. All analyses were performed on the basis of lateral force method in accordance with Eurocode 8. It had been shown that the consideration of the flexibility of joints between structural components did not have significant impact on the seismic demand of the connectors, while the consideration of the flexibility of connectors is important for the assessment of displacement.
