The residence of school principal and administration office in Shin-Dong Elementary School are two typical Japanese wooden buildings in Taiwan. On the March 4, 2010, Jiashian earthquake, both of these two wooden buildings suffered damage, however the damage degree and failure mode are different. In this article, we analyze and compare the earthquake performance of these two buildings for understanding the damage phenomenon. The analysis includes dynamic characteristics and the time-history response under Jiashian earthquake excitation. The analysis results indicate that the difference of vibration period and mode shape between two buildings is visible. In addition, during earthquake, the amplification factor of wooden office is much higher than that of principal residence. These factors are closely related to the damage difference of two buildings. Also, the comparison shows the higher wall/floor area ratio and uniform wall layout made principal residence experienced small seismic response and light damage. |
