<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>In Japan, it is important to be able to determine the factors affecting changes in the
vibration characteristics of wooden buildings resulting from their seismic
strengthening, so as to ensure their seismic resilience. This study set out to determine
the effect of seismic strengthening on the vibration characteristics of a wooden building
and to clarify the factors affecting the changes in the vibration characteristics based on
micro-tremor measurements. The results of the micro-tremor measurements were
compared with the results of a seismic diagnosis. The main findings were as follows;
1) The installation of seismic strengthening increases the natural frequency. 2) The
amplitude of the structure plane in which the steel columns and structural plywood
were installed was reduced. 3) The results of micro-tremor measurements and a
seismic diagnosis exhibited the same tendency regarding the effects of seismic
strengthening.</p>
