Abstract:

There are many traditional wooden five-storied pagodas in Japan that have been built since 7 century (mainly from Nara era to Edo era). Horyuji Temple (Nara) pagoda is about 31.5m and the highest Kyo-o-gokokuji Temple (Kyoto) pagoda is about 54.8m. In spite of its slender shape (aspect ratio about from 5 to 7), no records show that they were completely destroyed by earthquake. They consist of one centre pillar, and the 16 columns and beams that are connected by Japanese traditional semi-rigid moment frame system callednuki. They resist against horizontal force bynuki, restoring force caused by rocking of wooden columns and wooden shear walls. New wooden five- storied pagoda by Japanese traditional construction method is designed by non-linear static and dynamic analyses estimating these resistant elements.
