An Experimental Study on Full Scale Shaking Table Test of Conventional Wood House by E-Defense

Abstract eng:
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the dynamic performance of Japanese conventional post & beam wooden dwelling house, and to compare the estimated dynamic response with the results of the static shear wall tests. This conventional house was provided by the house manufacturer. The static shear walls tests, which were 22 types, were completed to prepare fundamental data for estimating dynamic response. The shear walls tested were, brace type that were single and double brace, nailed-on sheathing type using “MOISS” that was made of silica-calusium with vermiculite, and bare frame type. The hysteresis curves were modeled by using data taken from the static shear walls tests. And the dynamic response of full scale two story test house of 8,000 mm X-direction and 10,000 mm Y-direction was analyzed by taking the hysteretic curve of each static shear walls located in each places in the test house into consideration. It was obvious from this comparison that the modern wooden residential house, which was designed so as to meet with required design criterion, was stronger and tougher than this prediction. Thus it was thought that the non-structural members might have large influence on the structural performance. It was recognized that the base shear coefficient was about 1.4 times higher than that of the standard plan.
