A SEISMIC PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF TRADITIONAL WOODEN TOWNHOUSES IN KYOTO BASED ON THE SURVEY OF FRAMES

Abstract

In our research, we aim to provide a document that enable designers to easily recognize concerns which affect aseismic capacity of Kyo-machiya without carrying out frame analyses. To achieve the aim, we carried out frame analyses of typical frames to clarify concerns which affect their aseismic capacity in this paper. We revealed that the breakage of the through-column at the height of the beam or being pulled out and falling off of the beam may be caused depending on the deformation of the frame. These concerns can be solved by making the deformations of the first and second story uniform.
