The purpose of this study is to investigate the applicability of properties modification method (PMM) to nuki-column joints of Japanese traditional wooden frames. The basic analysis model of joint consists of three kinds of non-linear rotational springs, whose properties were determined based on the experiments conducted before. The properties of basic analysis model were modified to meet the conditions of each specimen by PMM. It was confirmed that the analysis results of hysteretic energy dissipation of hysteresis model obtained by PMM showed good agreement with the experiment results.
