Abstract
Providing for destructive earthquakes, buildings and structures are to be designed and constructed to resist stresses produced by lateral forces as required in Japanese Building Standard. Thus the statical forces are substituted for the dynamical forces of earthquakes, the partial stresses that caused by the vibrational difference of constructions are overlooked. Therefore, it is quite possible that the wholly earthquak-proofed buildings might be damaged owing to the partial destruction at the joint of the different kinds of constructions. Even the frames of the buildings are still not crushed, those buildings would be break down finally, and the people around or inside the buildings would be get hurt. This paper is written to show in the cases of partial force which are exceed much to be expected in the Building Standard. As liniear vibration formulas are used in calculation, we are desiring that further studies and investigations on actual damage of earthquake.
