Earthquake Resistant Structure of Japanese Houses

Damage building in Japan due to earth quake

 - Why earthquake resistant houses in Japan?

Earthquake-Resistant Design
"Earthquake-resistant" concept design of a structure in accordance with regulations in force in the mind of earthquake compliance with and enforcement of regulation is reminiscent of the calculation, and often at is thought to guarantee safety against earthquakes. However, the truth of this and similar comments sınandığında partially valid (Zacek 2000a).
The purpose of the regulations is to prevent earthquake damage to structures to prevent loss of life. A large earthquake in a large amount of structure may be damaged structural and non structural but as long as the building yıkılmadığı the objectives of the regulations is considered to be reached (Arnold et al. 1982).
Therefore United States Japan Always improving the earthquake codes, such as Italy laws and regulations are applied rigorously is above a certain level of quality of materials and applications, even in countries due to defects in the design of earthquake damage is often seen .
  1995 Kobe Earthquake stiffness irregularity between adjacent layers of the first and third floors of a building collapse completely. Kobe earthquake, depending on the effect of soft layer completely, especially the demolition of the ground floors were quite common.

Algeria Wang, conducting studies on earthquake damage to the U.S. and Japan His observations on the damaged structures in California architectural design decisions damage to some buildings According to other design decisions clearly concluded that the decisive (Charleson 1995).
Earthquake-resistant architectural design plays an important role at least until the regulations are applied.

Lessons learned from the devastating earthquakes the same importance for the design of earthquake resistant structures, and at the same time reveals the necessity of bringing together the three basic conditions.
a. Earthquake-resistant architectural design
b. Law and Regulatory Compliance
c. Qualified material implementation and auditing
Faulty and incomplete design decisions in terms of architectural design particular resonance torsion stress concentrations on the different oscillations some parts of the weakening of the structure under earthquake loads (soft coat effect) seismic loads on the concentration of some elements (short-column effect and so on.) depending on such factors can cause devastating damage (Zacek

  Likely due to faulty design decisions in terms of architectural design and missing causes of damage and destruction (Zacek 2000b)
Architect according to profession responsible for carrying out all kinds of buildings that provides safety and comfort requirements. A building's earthquake resistance calculations only with the appropriate regulations for sağlanamayacağı design regulations should be to eliminate the negative features at the same time.
Carrier system is very well-calculated earthquake behavior of a structure with irregular structural system, but carrier system is roughly calculated carrier system, but rather a more regular behavior of a structure which is negative. Carrier system is well regulated in the earthquake behavior of a structure is not possible to increase the account (Steel et al. 2000).
Therefore in the process of earthquake-resistant design architectural design decisions at least until the implementation of laws and regulations, positive or negative effects on the behavior of structures during earthquakes is of vital importance.
This is primarily important greatly affect the performance of the building during the earthquake and the architect is to be decided by the architectural design stage of the process of building geometry sketchcarrier selection and carrier system critical and fundamental decisions, such as the system depends on the behavior under seismic loads.
In particular the scale of design workshops This awareness is necessary to give the students nominated architect. The complexity of current regulations and their design and the possibility it may cause many problems in practice earthquake-resistant architectural design of this complexity so as to prevent requires special training be given to the process of design studios.
Report of the National Earthquake Council, dated May 6, 2002 Earthquake-resistant design and implementation success of professionals and technical staff operating in this area due to the improvement of university education is emphasized.
