There are many old traditional wooden frame buildings which were specified as cultural heritage or will be specified as Japanese important building in the near future. But there are many buildings which do not have good performance against seismic action. The purpose of the investigation is to develop the earthquake proof fittings, and to apply the...

... as the Japanese cypresses are rigidly attached by glue to the both surfaces of the stainless plate, the strength and the rigidty of the stainless grid increase. Figure 5 shows the details of the relationship between the earthquake-proof sliding door and the frame. The shear connectors between the door and the door frame are the compressed dowel which is made from the Japan cedar. ...

Experimental work is being conducted to examine the effect of strain rate on the properties of high-performance fiber-reinforced cement-based composites (HPFRCC). In this paper, preliminary results for a particular type of HPFRCC, Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) will be presented. This material is intended to be used in a proposed retrofit...

The overhead staged water tanks are susceptible for high lateral forces during earthquakes. Due to which, the failure of beam-columns joints, framing elements and toppling of tanks arise. To avoid such failures, they are analyzed and designed for lateral forced induced by devastating earthquakes assuming the base of the structures are fixed and con...

This paper presents a study on the identification of progressive damage, using an equivalent linear finite-element model updating strategy, in a masonry infilled RC frame that was tested on a shake table. A two-thirds-scale, 3-story, 2-bay, infilled RC frame was tested on the UCSD-NEES shake table to investigate the seismic performance of this type...
