Bending resistance of repaired column members and shear resistance of opening frames with repaired columns of conventional Japanese wooden houses
Journal of Wood Science volume 57, pages 536–541 (2011)
Abstract
When it is necessary to repair conventional Japanese wooden houses, the decayed lower parts of columns should be replaced with new wood material. The bending resistance of columns repaired by four methods and the shear resistance of opening frames with those repaired columns were investigated in this study. Bending tests of the repaired columns showed differences in initial bending stiffness and maximum bending moment related to the repair methods and loading direction. Racking tests were conducted on door opening frames with conventional door head members or upper partial walls sheathed with 12-mmthick plywood. The conventional frame specimens broke at door head-column joints with no obvious bending deformation of the columns, resulting in little difference in load-shear deformation curves among the repair methods. The columns of plywood-sheathed specimens, on the other hand, clearly were bent after the nails at the plywood-to-wood frame joints started to pull off. The load-shear deformation curves of the plywood-sheathed specimens did not vary regardless of the repair methods when shear deformations were small but were affected by repair methods as shear deformation increased.
