Abstract
In this paper, I propose the generation method of the vulnerability curve for a traditional timber house in consideration of the maximum shear force distribution. The vulnerability curve is made from the maximum displacement responses of a house by Monte Carlo simulation. This report shows the minimum total number of simulation instances for one house. The results may be summarized as follows: the minimum number of instances for one house is 20 for the average and standard variation of a vulnerability curve. A simplified vulnerability curve generation method with one instance is also proposed. The 50 percentile of this simplified method is 10cm/s greater than the 50 percentile of the proposed method with 20 instances.
