A Study on the Proportion and the Possibility of Accumulation of Shear Strength of Mud Walls and Frames in Traditional Wooden Construction

Abstract

This paper shows that study of load ratio of mud-plastered walls and traditional construction frame, and attempt of the possibility of accumulation of strength of the elements. The specimens are composed of a traditional joints, and columns of alignment and number, Nuki of alignment, opening of height and width, and presence of Sashigamoi, etc. are different. The following results were obtained. 1) Strength Load Ratio containing Nuki very early is around 30%. But, Strength Load Ratio will be reduced to 15% 100rad. Then gradually increased, reaching 40% 1/15rad. 2) The ratio of Strength Load of Frame of the opening with Mud walls, larger than the wall No the opening.The higher the proportion of the opening increases.
