Abstract
   Microtremor Observation is popularly practiced as a nondestructive-seismic-test for existing wooden houses, however we have to be aware that vibration characteristics in microtremor lever is not the same as the one under huge earthquake with a nonlinear characteristics of load-deformation-curve(P-δ).
In this paper, we performed destructive shaking table tests and multiple microtremor tests and demonstrate the relationship of both secant stiffness. Also we examined the availability of microtremor as a relative index. [This abstract is not included in the PDF]
