Abstract
Based on the analysis results of the seismic diagnosis design of traditional houses in Kyoto, it has been considered that the surface soil amplification factor indicated in the guidelines may be overestimated. In this paper, we have analyzed the soil model used in the calculation of the amplification factor in the guidelines and that used in the earthquake damage estimation in Kyoto. As a result, the former soil model is not adequate for Kyoto city area. In addition, the lower limit of 1.23 is sufficient for the amplification factor used in the seismic diagnosis of traditional houses.
