RESEARCH ON THE SIMPLE WAY OF ESTIMATING THE CHARACTERISTIC PERIOD OF THE TRADITIONAL WOODEN HOUSE(Structures)

Abstract

As for the traditional wooden house, the performance which is excellent because structural behavior at the time of the earthquake isn't made clear fully isn't reflected on the structural design. It is important to calculate the characteristic period of the traditional wooden house to make action in the earthquake clear. The purpose of this research is the proposal of the method which the characteristic period is estimated at simply.
