Abstract
To clear the response characteristics of Japanese traditional wooden buildings, shaking table tests and static lateral loading tests using a full-scale model of traditional wooden frame were carried out. From experiments, it is found that traditional wooden frame has high performance of deformability and dumping. The hysteretic characteristics of the whole frame obtained from shaking table tests correlate closely with those of static tests. The whole restoring force increases in proportion to increase of vertical load acting on the column capitals in the model with the minimum figuration of tie-beam. The effect of the frames with without tie-beams on the restoring force were also examined. Then, the restoring force characteristics due to column rocking and the moment resistance of tie-beam play important roles in structural mechanism of traditional wood buildings.
