In this paper, a method to prevent the collapse of specific stories and improve safety by incorporating steel rocking pillars (RP) into wooden house is proposed. By redistributing the excess or deficiency of seismic performance on each floor by means of rigid RP, a response suppression effect can be expected. At the same time, it enables a highly flexible design that is not bound by the wall quantity balance between the upper and lower floors. Using collapse analysis, the effectiveness of RP and relationship between stiffness of RP and the response suppression effect.
