Tabriz Bazaar is the first Bazaar in the world that was registered in the world heritage list of the UNESCO in August 2010. Malek Timche is one of the important and beautiful parts of Tabriz Bazaar. The objective of this research is to assess the seismic vulnerability, structural behavior and failure mechanisms of this historic building, and to propose an appropriate method for retrofitting and improving the seismic performance. The subject is studied in four main steps. To determine the mechanical properties of constructional materials, three-point bending test and compression test are carried out initially. Then, a three-dimensional model of the Malek Timche is established using finite element method, and the static, modal, and dynamic analysis are performed. In the third step, 16 possible failure mechanisms are obtained based on the stress contours achieved from dynamic analyses using the simplified kinematic method based on the Italian code, OPCM 3431. Finally, by using the results of the structural analysis, walls and domes of the structure are strengthened by reinforcements and FRP composites, respectively.

大不里士集市是世界上第一个在2010年8月被联合国教科文组织列入世界遗产名录的集市。马尔克·提姆奇是大不里士集市的重要组成部分之一。这项研究的目的是评估这座历史建筑的地震易损性，结构行为和破坏机理，并提出一种改进和改善地震性能的适当方法。该主题通过四个主要步骤进行研究。为了确定建筑材料的机械性能，首先进行了三点弯曲试验和压缩试验。然后，使用有限元方法建立了Malek Timche的三维模型，并进行了静态，模态和动态分析。第三步
