SEISMIC COLLAPSING ANALYSIS OF ONE-STORY WOODEN KINDERGARTEN STRUCTURE AGAINST STRONG EARTHQUAKE GROUND MOTION

TOMIYA TAKATANI, HAYATO NISHIKAWA


Abstract

3-D collapsing process analysis of an old Japanese-style one-story wooden structure under two strong earthquake ground motions with a seismic intensity level was car-ried out in order to investigate the seismic performance of this one-story wooden structure without/with seismic retrofit. As a result, this wooden structure collapsed against a strong earthquake ground motion with the JMA seismic intensity “6 upper” level.
