Abstract

The lateral load carrying mechanism of Japanese traditional mud walls has been observed by the experiments without initial shear failure. It is clearly shown that the mechanism mainly consists of the following four elements: 1) Compressive vertical pressure force between soil wall and beam or sill at all corners, 2) Compressive vertical pressure force between soil wall and embedded horizontal wooden batten 'Nuki', 3) Shear force between beam-column frame and bamboo member 'Mawatashi', and 4) Moment resistance force at the joints of beam or sill and column. This paper also reports the independent behavior of each componential specimen, which is devised to produce the resistant force of the four elements mentioned above. It is finally shown that the assumption of this load carrying mechanism was satisfactory verified through comparing the tested initial stiffness and resistance force of mud walls with the evaluated ones by the sum of four componential element test results. Also it becomes clear that not only material properties but also construction skill affect the behavior of the elements.
