DEVELOPMENT OF THE APPARATUS FOR EVALUATING THE FRACTURE OF FRAMED FLOORS AND WALLS UNDER DYNAMIC LOADS AFFECTED BY HUMAN : Study on an evaluation method of fracture of framed floors and walls by human dynamic force (part 2)

Abstract

The purpose .of the study is to establish the evaluating method of the fracture of framed floors and walls under dynamic loads affected by human. In this paper, part 2, the apparatus for evaluating the fracture of framed floors and walls was newly designed and manufactured. The apparatus is composed of three parts, namely, mechanical loading system, fracture detector, and base of these, which are based on the properties of dynamic loads affected by human, investigated in part 1. Moreover, the method of detecting the fracture of framed floors and walls under dynamic loads was presented through the experiment using newly developed apparatus for evaluating the fracture.
