A Study on Approach for Risk Reduction of Non-Engineered Houses in Japan Through Building Regulation System
Abstract eng: Every earth quake causes serious damage to human society, especially to non-engineered structures like adobe, nonreinforced masonry of stone, brick or concrete block because of its vulnerability in many countries. However, formal legal frameworks in many countries do not recognize non-engineered buildings in its code and building regulation system, and the performance improvement has been lagging in large scale. Taking an example of traditional wooden houses in Japan as non-engineered structure, we had analyzed historical integration process of non-engineered structures into formal legislative framework to improve its performance in scalable manner. In conclusion, it suggests lessons learned for developing countries based on the experience in Japan.
