Relations between Superstructure-Score in the Earthquake-Proof Diagnosis and the Amount of Structural Walls of the Existing Wooden Houses against the Construction Year
application/pdfIn this study, the earthquake-resistant diagnosis scores of 43 existing wooden houses and the relations with the construction year are examined. The main results are as follows: positive correlation is recognized between the superstructure score and the construction year. There were some houses which did not have quantity of wall necessary for Japanese Building Code. Three types of joint specifications against columns and earthquake-resistant elements had relatively large effects on the superstructure score of the houses. It is shown that the house constructed after 2000 has a small eccentricity and well balance of the wall placement. However, among the houses constructed before 2000, there are some houses which are not consistent with a balance evaluation of the wall placement by the four division method and the eccentricity ratio.departmental bulletin pape
