MOMENT RESISTING PERFORMANCE OF JAPANESE TRADITIONAL WOODEN JOINTS

Feature of each joint and presumption of moment resisiting performance in crosstype joint

Abstract

The aim of this research is to clarify the moment resisiting performance and the feature of traditional joints, and to design according to an arbitrary size. First of all, five kinds of traditional joints were designed, examined, and the moment resisting performance and the feature were clarified. Next, the moment resisting performance of each joint was presumed based on the mechanical model. And the correspondence at the elastic stage with the test result was confirmed.
