Loading tests on the limit state of deformation of the Azekura wooden structures

Yoshihisa TAJI, Yoshiharu ISHIKAWA and Kazuo SHIDA

In this study, we performed a load test and measured the horizontal load and horizontal displacement of a full size wooden structure built with experimental equipment. By steadily increasing the horizontal surcharge load, the maximum horizontal load (resistance) was observed at approximately 4 to 6 % of the height of the horizontal displacement. Using these results, we can set the control standard values of the horizontal displacement of the wooden structure to 5 % for the height.
