The damage to timber buildings occurred over a wide swath from Tohoku down to northern Kanto. The cause of damage is divided either by ground motion or by tsunami. The damage due to ground motion is categorized by the main cause of damage, either the ground deformation including the liquefaction or the vibration of the superstructure.

Energy for Sustainable Development, 2021
A large part of the energy for heating and cooling is consumed due to human needs for thermal comfort in the living environment. It is important to use a suitable method to design an energy-efficient building to satisfy the thermal comfort of residents ...

Timber construction has long been used – and is still being used – worldwide, especially for low-rise residential buildings. The poor performance of multi-level timber houses in the 1994 Northridge and 1995 Kobe earthquakes due to soft-storey collapse has raised awareness of the potential seismic vulnerability of timber buildings.

In light wood-frame buildings, the gravitational and lateral force-resisting systems are composed of floor diaphragms and shear walls. During an earthquake, these walls are subjected to the simultaneous action of in-plane vertical force, shear force, and

Timber Supply and Timber Building in a Sussex Parish
Vernacular Architecture, 1983AbstractThis paper questions the commonly held view that the quality and number of timber framed houses in a district reflects the local availability of standing timber. A case history is provided from records and standing buildings of the parish of Warminghurst (Sussex). The settlement history and forms of tenure are summarized.

Structural Systems of Timber Buildings
2013The current chapter presents a set of main aspects of timber building with a focus on timber-frame constructions. A brief description of timber’s material characteristics in Sect. 3.1 aims at getting acquainted with potential advantages and disadvantages of planning and designing timber buildings, in comparison with using other structural materials ...

Timber preservation in building and construction
Construction and Building Materials, 1989Abstract Despite the traditionally wide use of timber as a building material, preservation standards are not always mandatory specifications covered by Building Regulations. Protection against damp, insects and fungi is almost exclusively left to the discretion of the designers or builders.
