The purpose of this study is to define hysteretic characteristic model of nuki-column joints of Japanese traditional wooden frames using extended NCL model. Based on the results of static cyclic loading tests, typical characteristic loop shape of joints was determined and the formula for determining shape of skeleton curve of joints was proposed. By coupling the typical characteristic loop and the calculated skeleton curve, the extended NCL model for nuki-column joints was defined. It was confirmed that the analysis results of hysteretic energy dissipation by the proposed model showed good agreement with the experiment results.
