Abstract

In damage of wooden pagodas there is a lot of partial damage. The possibility that partial damage causes the overall damage is large. However, there is no research to which story of wooden pagodas on big force load before. Then, in this study, using three wooden pagodas models whom can be resolved, coefficient of wind force of each story of wooden pagodas was measured by the wind tunnel test. As a result, it has been understood that wind force coefficient in wind direction in each story doesn't have the so many changes, but according to the wind force coefficient in vertical direction wind force is applied upward in the top story, and applied power downward in the bottom of the story. Moreover, it has been understood that wind force doesn't work so much at the inter-stories.
