Abstract
Japanese school buildings have been changed from modern timber structures to reinforced concrete structures after the Building Standard Law was established in 1950. Therefore, only few modern wooden school buildings exist currently. Ensuring the seismic resilience of these wooden school buildings is essential for their preservation. The objective of this study is to develop an analysis model for the seismic performance evaluation of modern wooden school buildings. The fracture modes and the relationship between the lateral load and deformation of wooden frames were examined based on the results of full-scale static lateral loading tests performed in a previous study. The analysis models of these specimens were developed and compared with test results to examine their validity. Analysis results were in good agreement with test results.
