Abstract:

Tokyo’s Suitengu is a traditional Japanese shrine located in the urban area that is often visited by people praying for safe delivery in childbirth. There are two structural features which provide both quakeproof and high fire-resistance required in the urban area. Its main structural features are the integral base isolation system for several buildings of different sizes and the application of base isolation to the low-story section that extends throughout the entire shrine precincts. The second feature is main shrine buildings constructed with a traditional wooden visible interior and exterior and an inner structure of reinforced concrete that ensures both earthquake safety and fire- resistance. These features are useful to rebuilding the traditional buildings which is often seen in the developing world in rapid urbanization area which requires high safety of buildings.
