Abstract
Numerous steel roof bearings in RC gymnasia were damaged at the 2011 Tohoku and 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake, mainly due to
out-of-plane response of cantilevered RC walls. Although the authors confirmed the reduction effect for seismic response of
cantilevered RC walls by friction damper bearings, the transverse response evaluation methods including the roof response are not
established. In this paper, using the experimental results of a PTFE sliding bearing, a friction damper bearing, and a rubber sheet
bearing, the transverse response of RC walls are analyzed by numerical simulations including effects of the roof response, followed
by proposing the evaluation methods.
