  • Not Refereed, Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering (Transactions of AIJ), Architectural Institute of Japan, SEISMIC RESPONSE DRIFT UNCERTAINTY OF UNIFORMLY DESIGNED WOODEN SHEAR WALLS, MATSUDA Masahiro; ISODA Hiroshi; KANEKO Hirofumi; SUMIDA Kotaro; ARAKI Yasuhiro; NAKAGAWA Takafumi, Even if the houses are built based on the same seismic resistance standards, some are damaged or not, and some may or may not collapse during an earthquake. This difference is considered to be due to the difference in local seismic motion or the target design level, the certainty of construction, the degree of deterioration, and the like. Besides, in wooden constructions, the strength and rigidity of the materials used, the joints, and the shear walls are not constant, so-called variations, which causes a difference in the load-deformation relationship of the layers. It is thought that the above factors cause differences in the response deformation during earthquakes. In this study, we discuss variations in response deformation caused by variations in materials, with the same input seismic motion, building design level, and load capacity.

    Five or three full-scale box-shaped test specimens manufactured under the same conditions were simultaneously vibrated on the same shake table, and the variation in response displacement was quantitatively clarified. Also, the differences in the metal joints at the ends of the braces and the effects of finishing materials and orthogonal walls on the yield strength were examined. The experiments performed for three different purposes are the A-, B- and C-series shown below (Table 1). The A-series is to examine the variation of the response by simultaneously vibrating 5 test pieces with the uniform wall magnification and construction method on the same shaking table (Fig.1-2, Table2-3). The B-series examines the effect of hardware on the displacement response, using the hardware at the end of the brace with the same wall magnification as a parameter (Fig.8, Table9-10). Finally, the C-series examines the effect of differences in the plane type of hanging walls and frames on the displacement response, as well as the wall magnification (Fig.16-17, Table16-17).

    As for the shear walls specimens in the A-series, the variation in response displacement up to the maximum load was small, about 7%, but where the maximum load is exceeded or not exceeded, the variation in response displacement was about 28%. For the brace specimens in the B series, the variation in response displacement increased when buckling in the brace and damage at its ends occurred. It is considered that this is influenced by the material strength and the performance of the brace end hardware. These tendencies were suggested in the C-series to be similar with or without lintel or orthogonal walls., 30 Jul. 2021, 86, 785, 1074, 1083, 10.3130/aijs.86.1074
  • JOURNAL OF STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING, ASCE-AMER SOC CIVIL ENGINEERS, Seismic Testing and Analysis of Rocking Motions of Japanese Post-and-Beam Construction, Kotaro Sumida; Takafumi Nakagawa; Hiroshi Isoda, From our investigation of the experimental seismic response of post-and-beam wooden buildings with different column joints, we developed a nonlinear three-dimensional distinct element model that is capable of time-history response analysis. This model succeeded in predicting the seismic response of the column-base, such as rocking behavior, which has been difficult. Four types of full-scale post-and-beam wooden structures with various column-base systems were tested on a shaking table with three ground-motion sequences for each type of structure, and their response and performance were investigated. By comparing the model's predictions with the test results, we confirmed the rocking-tracking accuracy of the analysis program. The numerical model was reasonably able to keep pace with the measured experimental response in terms of load-deformation curves, following uplifts and pull-out behavior as observed at the column bottoms in the shake-table tests. The model was also able to predict maximum response acceleration and global interstory drift within 10% accuracy on average. Considering the large uncertainties associated with seismic-collapse predictions, such as complicated nonlinear behavior in frames and joints, these results encourage researchers and designers to understand how these structures respond to earthquakes and how to analyze these structures.

  • JOURNAL OF STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING, ASCE-AMER SOC CIVIL ENGINEERS, Seismic Performance of Three-Story Cross-Laminated Timber Structures in Japan, Xiaolan Zhang; Hiroshi Ishoda; Kotaro Sumida; Yasuhiro Araki; Shoichi Nakashima; Takafumi Nakagawa; Nobuhiko Akiyama, To promote the development of cross-laminated timber (CLT) structures, the Japanese Government Notifications on Structural Design of CLT Buildings (GN 611) was issued in 2016. In GN 611, three types of platform-framing CLT structures were classified in the simple calculation method of Route-1. Compared with a platform-framing structure, which has been clarified in GN 611, a balloon-framing structure is superior in shortening the construction period and reducing the number of CLT panels and metal connectors. To study the seismic properties of balloon-framing CLT structures and develop new structures for a CLT building, four full-scale, 3-story CLT structures were tested under quasistatic cyclic loading: Specimen 1 was a platform-framing structure with narrow wall panels; Specimen 2 was a balloon-framing structure with continuous wall panels; Specimen 3 a was platform-framing structure with wide wall panels; and Specimen 4 was a balloon-framing structure with continuous wall panels and glulam beams. In this study, experiments were conducted, and the seismic performance of the balloon- and platform-framing CLT structures were evaluated and compared. The test results indicated that the seismic properties of Specimens 1, 2, and 3 were similar and that the design method of Specimen 1, as specified in GN 611, was applicable for Specimens 2 and 3. Specimen 4 exhibited higher lateral load resistance than the other three specimens. The performance of Specimen 4 depended on the moment-resisting performance of the glulam beam and CLTwall joint. In this case, the moment-resisting performance obtained through the experiment was significantly higher than the predicted performance.

  • JOURNAL OF PERFORMANCE OF CONSTRUCTED FACILITIES, ASCE-AMER SOC CIVIL ENGINEERS, Experimental Seismic Response of a Japanese Conventional Wooden House Using 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake Records, Kotaro Sumida; Hiroshi Isoda; Takuro Mori; Kei Tanaka; Solomon Tesfamariam, Immediately after the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake series, a detailed damage assessment of more than 2,500 wooden houses was conducted at Mashiki Town, Kumamoto. Severe structural and nonstructural components damages were observed for buildings designed after the 2000 building standard law. Results of the field investigation were used to identify vulnerable building type, and in October 2017, a full-scale, two-story, Japanese conventional post and beam wood townhouse was tested under the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake series recorded at the KiK-net station. A triaxial shake table testing facility located in Miki City, Japan, was used. The tested building survived the foreshock and mainshock of the Kumamoto earthquake, and the extent of damage reasonably agreed with the result of the survey around the KiK-net station. Results of the experimental tests will help designers and decision makers to understand the seismic response and damage of the test building and come up with mitigation alternatives.

  • Not Refereed, Journal of Japan Association for Earthquake Engineering, JAPAN ASSOCIATION FOR EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING, Survey of Construction Situation in Mashiki Town Two Years After the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquakes, SUMIDA Kotaro; ISODA Hiroshi; INOUE Ryo; MORI Takuro; TANAKA Kei; SATO Toshiaki, The survey was carried out again two years later on buildings that were completely surveyed just after the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. The purpose of the survey is to quantify the relationship between damage level, construction year, structure type, etc. and the usage of the buildings after two years. This study revealed that about half of the buildings surveyed areas in Mashiki town do not exist. In addition, it was found that the continuous use rate of buildings is higher as the construction year of the affected building is newer, or the damage level is lower. Also, 37% of the continuously used buildings have been repaired, and some of buildings judged to be no damage by the exterior survey have also been repaired. 84% of newly constructed buildings were wooden structure and 71% were single story., 2019, 19, 1, 1_21, 1_33, 10.5610/jaee.19.1_21
  • WCTE 2018 - World Conference on Timber Engineering, Experimental seismic response of a full-scale Japanese conventional wooden post and beam building, Kotaro Sumida; Hiroshi Isoda; Masahiro Matsuda; Kokoro Yoshida, A full-scale, two-story, Japanese conventional wooden house built in post and beam construction was tested on a triaxial shake table. The main objective of this experimental study was to investigate the dynamic characteristic and the seismic performance of the test building under various base input intensities. The building performed excellently with little damage even following the five major earthquakes recorded in Japan. We identified the good correlation of the overall inter-story drift with damage observed on some panels of the test building., 2018, International conference proceedings

  • 若手研究, 01 Apr. 2023 - 31 Mar. 2026, 23K13441, 材料性能のばらつきから間取りの多様性までを考慮した木造住宅の耐震性能評価, 角田 功太郎, 日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 奈良女子大学, 4550000, 3500000, 1050000, 本研究の目的は、材料スケールのものから、耐震壁、そして実大の木造住宅までを対象とした耐震性能のばらつきに関する評価を目指すものである。さらにはこの耐震性能のばらつきを考慮した上で、様々な壁配置・間取りを有する実際の住宅を想定したシミュレーションを実施し、最終的には耐震壁の数が同じでも地震に強い平面計画を統計的・確率的に明らかにすることを目指す。
    今年度は、課題の一つである「地震に強い住宅の平面計画の分析」について検討を進めた。実際の住宅を想定した動的シミュレーションにより、壁配置・間取りと地震時応答の関係について整理した。対象とした各住宅について、時刻歴応答解析により推定した最大層間変形を目的変数とし、平面形状のアスペクト比や整形割合を説明変数とした多変量解析を実施した。結果、耐震性能の高い住宅では壁配置や間取りの影響をあまり受けないこと、ベースシア係数が同じであっても1階に対する2階の面積比が小さい住宅ほど地震時の応答が大きくなること、などが明らかとなった。一方で、壁配置・間取りに関するその他のパラメータについては、影響しないものがほとんどであった。
    分析の対象とする住宅は目標の棟数には及ばなかったが、統計的な結果を得ることができた。今後は棟数を増やして分析を進める予定である。また、地震時応答に影響を与えるパラメータの探索も継続する予定であり、極端な壁配置・間取りを有する住宅についても重点的に分析を進める予定である。, kaken
  • 特別研究員奨励費, 24 Apr. 2020 - 31 Mar. 2022, 20J11031, 大地震に対してもレジリエンスを有する次世代の高耐震化住宅の実現, 角田 功太郎, 日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 京都大学, 1900000, 1900000, 0, 本研究では、大地震に対してもレジリエンスを有する次世代の高耐震化住宅の実現に向けて、これまでに実施した被災地調査や実大振動台実験の結果を踏まえて、数値解析的手法により木造住宅の耐震性能に関する検討を実施した。
    当該年度では、木造住宅の地震時応答のばらつきに関する一考察として、振動台実験における同一試験体の同時加振における応答変位について主に注目し、応答のばらつきを再現できる数値解析モデルの構築を目指した。実験では、最大耐力に至ると応答が大きくばらつく現象が確認されたが、このばらつきと荷重変位関係性能・骨格曲線などとの相関は見られなかった。解析手法においては、この応答を再現するために、繰り返しの影響などの履歴特性を考慮できる解析モデルの検討が必要であると考えられた。
    また、被災地での調査の結果を踏まえて、大地震後の継続使用に要求される耐震性能の、実現可能性について検討した。住宅メーカーによって実際に建築された住宅の間取りを分析すると、既存の筋かい等の耐力壁に加えて、外壁を構造用合板などの面材で被覆することにより、壁量充足率が平均で3倍程度になることを確認した。これらの住宅をモデル化し、観測地震波を入力する時刻歴応答解析を実施することによって予想される被害レベルを推定した。壁量充足率で3倍程度の耐震性能を有していれば、応答のばらつきも小さく大地震後も継続使用が可能な損傷に抑えることができることを明らかにした。, kaken
