DIRECT-CONNECTED BENT REINFORCED BRACE DISPENSING WITH CONNECTOR OF EARTHQUAKE-RESISTING WALL AND PORTAL RIGID FRAME OF WOODEN FRAMEWORK BUILDING, AND CONSTRUCTION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve points that a wooden building collapses because connectors and constituent members come apart and that the wooden building is destroyed because a frame becomes a parallelogram.;SOLUTION: A joint function of a direct-connected bent reinforced brace and a wood part includes two functions which are a drawing function of a washer resisting so that a connection does not come apart, and a shearing function of plate steel resisting so that the frame does not become the parallelogram. Consequently, a nail, a screw, a bolt and a drawing hardware of the connector are not required. When a horizontal seismic force acts on an earthquake-resisting wall and a portal rigid frame of the direct-connected bent reinforced brace, the bent reinforced brace bears tensile stress, and only compressive stress is generated to the mutual contact surface of wood parts of the connection. The drawing hardware is thereby unnecessary.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
