The Cabinet Office has developed "Authorized standard of damage to houses" and recommended quantitative evaluation on degrees of damage. However, some problems have been pointed out on this standard as follows: differences between the authorized results and the actual damage to houses and difficulty in the appropriate judgment on various kinds of damage. In this paper the authors arranged the problems on this standard provided by the Cabinet Office and proposed a form of a new criterion considering the application to high wind damage.
