In order to clarify potential fire safety capabilities of Japanese traditional post and beam wooden construction, loaded fire resistance tests have been carried out on two kinds of reinforced soil wall construction in filled in timber frame with and without horizontal deformation simulating an effect of strong earthquake. The test results suggest high feasibility of traditional timber frame reinforced soil wall construction to urban buildings. This indicates an encouraging prospect for the rational fire safety assessment of historic buildings and further development of fire-safe-traditional constructions for the restoration of historic buildings.
