Earthquake Resistance Diagnosis, Earthquake Resistance Reinforcement, Structural Renovation - General Incorporated Association Earthquake Research Institute

It is clear that the number of new housing starts will decrease in the future, considering the current number of residential units nationwide and the birth rate of children. Therefore, reinforcing existing housing will play an important role moving forward. This reinforcement will not only focus on improving seismic performance but also on restoring the inherent durability of the buildings. The seismic research method (ML method) has been developed with consideration for the future trends of Japanese society, focusing not only on seismic performance but also on durability, through repeated research and experimentation. Additionally, we refer to renovations that emphasize the reinforcement of structural components, including measures against the deterioration of wooden buildings and improvements in seismic performance, as "structural renovations." A time will come when the importance of structural repairs and renovations will be highlighted. We aim to promote these "structural renovations" and the "ML method" to the general public and to foster technicians skilled in the repair of wooden buildings.
