APPLICATION TO THE WOOD HOUSE OF THE HIGH DAMPING OIL DAMPER WHICH SET UP THE RESPONSE REDUCTION TARGET

Abstract

In this study, the development of wooden shear wall with oil damper was described. The purpose of the development is to reduce a maximum story drift in 20% by the addition of two shear walls during severe earthquakes. The main flow for achievement of this purpose is to design joints resisting high shear strength, to develop and verify the high performance oil damper and to assess the shear performance and story drift using time-history analysis. The dynamic shear wall tests were also carried out to confirm the analytical study.
