    Reinforcement methods of glulam beam with a round hole are proposed and their performance are experimentally and analytically investigated in this report.
    There are two types of reinforcement methods, uses steel plates or plywood plates. Both methods are confirmed effective based on experimental results.
    The reinforcement method using steel plates is highly practical. Because it is excellent in workability and the steel sheet is thin, it does not affect the finish. Therefore, the effectiveness of reinforcement with steel plates is investigated with the parametric study by using FEM analyses. The result shows a good performance of reinforcement under various conditions.

    Recently, medium large scale wooden buildings have became popular. Large rooms are often located in these buildings such as auditoriums, conference rooms and so on. In order to create these rooms, it is required to develop Stressed-Skin Panels (SSP) which support long span floor. The purpose of this study is to clarify the bending performance of SSPs. Bending performance of SSPs depends on tensile strength and stiffness of their flanges. For this reason, tensile tests of plywood used as flanges are conducted and plywood with the best properties are selected. After that, full size bending tests of SSPs are carried out to measure bending performance and the validity of the evaluation method was verified.

    Passive design can keep a comfortable thermal environment without air conditioner all year around while it needs precise thermal environment simulation to analyze the effectiveness before it has been constructed. However, large discrepancies in simulation results can exist between different programs so that it’s hard for designers and researchers to choose appropriate program for passive design from so many programs without recognition about characteristic of them. This paper compares several commonly used simulation programs in Japan, concentrating on analyzing natural temperature calculation to find out the calculation characteristic of each programs.
