DEVELOPMENT AND VERIFICATION OF A REINFORCE METHOD FOR EXISTING WOOD HOUSE BY INORGANIC SHEARING BOARD

Abstract

This paper reports a seismic reinforce method using inorganic board for existing wood house. To evaluate structural performance shear wall tests consisting of six type details with and without opening was carried out. Shaking tests were also conducted for two story house having insufficient structural performance and two story house with developed shear wall. As the result of tests, wall strength ration of over 7.0 point in seismic diagnosis for existing wood house was calculated from shear wall tests and significant difference between two houses with and without reinforcement was observed in shaking table test.
