Seismic Collapsing Analysis of Three-Story Wooden Hotel

Tomiya Takatani¹,

Hayato Nishikawa²

Abstract: A 3-D collapsing-process analysis of an old Japanese-style 3-story wooden hotel under strong earthquake ground motions was carried out with three seismic intensity levels to investigate its seismic performance. Three earthquake ground motions were evaluated from three ground boring data around this wooden hotel, using the non-linear amplification characteristics of surface soil layer above the engineering base rock. As a result, this wooden hotel collapsed against a strong earthquake ground motion with… Show more

In Japan, there has existed a serious problem on seismic retrofit for a lot of one-story wooden structures such as temples and shrines in famous tourist resort areas, which were built by a Japanese traditional framedconstruction method and have some types of thatched roof instead of tiles. In order to investigate the seismic behaviour of an old one-story thatched roof wooden structure, "Yakushi-doh", 3-D non-linear collapsing process analysis of Yakushi-doh structure was conducted against a strong earthquake ground motion with the Japan Meteorological Agency seismic intensity of "6 upper" level. A non-linear behaviour of timber elements in the wooden structure during a strong earthquake ground motion can be simulated by this 3-D non-linear collapsing process analysis based on the Distinct Element Method. The effect of the post fixing condition under wooden structure floor on seismic response of Yakushi-doh structure was numerically investigated in this paper. KEYWORDSOne-story wooden structure with thatched roof, 3-D non-linear collapsing process analysis, seismic response.
