Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to reduce the earthquake damage of wooden houses, passive control scheme has attracted attention. However the technology has not become widely used because there are not reasonable and simple design methods to use the energy dissipation wall. Major achievements of this project are;
(1) Two simplified design methods to obtain the quantity required for keeping the seismic deformation of wooden houses below design criteria were proposed and its accuracy was verified. (2) The design methods, test method and estimation method of damper and energy dissipation wall, and information of existing energy dissipation wall were organized to publish the recommendations for design of passively-controlled wooden houses.
