Abstract
The number of research topics of seismic performance of wooden houses increased dramatically during last two decades after many wooden houses were damaged due to the Southern Hyogo Prefecture earthquake in 1995. Many shaking table tests of full-size wooden houses have been carried out with improvements of testing facilities and methods. On the other hand, some seismic response analysis models for wooden houses have been proposed. This review article introduces current research topics with shaking table tests and seismic response analysis of full-size wooden houses using pre- or post-analysis, and presents problems and foresights.
