DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHING MATERIALS TO DEMONSTRATE COLLAPSE OF WOODEN HOUSE FOR PROMOTION OF SEISMIC RETROFIT(Structures)

Abstract

The authors have been developed a series of teaching materials showing vibration test, which are called 'bururu', for educaiton of dynamics in University and the enlightenment of disaster prevention consciousness in the society. Here, the 1/10 scale wooden house model placed on hand cart, which is a kind of shaking table, are developed in order to demonstrate the seismic weakness of wooden house for the promotion of seismic retrofit. This model easily show the difference of collapse due to the amount and the balance of seismic resistant member, joint of members, weight of roof, soil stiffness etc.
