Study on Simplified Seismic Diagnosis of Wooden House

Abstract

This paper proposes a simplified seismic diagnosis to rapidly gather a lot of data for the earthquake resistant performance of wooden houses and describes the verification of its accuracy and indicates some examples to gather data by means of this diagnosis. In this diagnosis, the data for wooden houses are gathered by visual obtainment of exterior. We can choose in two options for how to conduct visual obtainment of exterior. One option is to obtain data by direct visual on-the-spot investigation. The other is to obtain data from the site of street view in the Google. From the results, it is found that one of the important factors that accuracy goes down is error when some lengths on houses are evaluated by visual obtainment of exterior, and that a lot of data can be gotten by means of this diagnosis.
