Outline of Final Research Achievements

The study was carried out on development of design and construction method for new wooden building which reflected regional characteristics by evaluating of earthquake-resistant performance of the wooden houses. And preservation and active utilization of wooden houses built by traditional architectural method was also considered in this study.
These structural characteristics were clarified by performing a structure investigation among typical building group having regional area and earthquake-resistant performance of these houses were evaluated by using of response analysis method. On the other hand, structural experiments were conducted for some type of earthquake-resistant elements such as the wall with timber grille and the Japanese plaster wall. And earthquake-resistant performance of these walls was evaluated on the basis of the test results.
