Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a bearing wall for window installation that has improved resistance to horizontal force during an earthquake or a typhoon and maintains satisfactory seismic resistance regardless of the type of window to be installed. This is achieved by using a beam member as a window lintel or window sill, which is tied to adjacent column members via metal joints and a peripheral end portion of a structural plywood is fixed to the opening with nails or screws. The cross-sectional area of the beam member is increased and the pitch of nails or screws is made rough to prevent excessive rise of the load imposed on the bearing wall. Additionally, the horizontal frame member is designed to have lower resistance to horizontal force, making it possible to reduce material cost.

Problems solved by technology

In general, it is impossible to attach a brace or a structural plywood as described above in a part where a window is installed, it is difficult to maintain satisfactory seismic resistance, and the wall is often not accepted as a bearing wall.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]The following description will explain embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a bearing wall 1 of a wooden house according to an embodiment of the present invention is partitioned into two openings 13 and 14 in the vertical direction between adjacent column members 3 constituting a framework 2 by bridging a window lintel 10 as a horizontal frame member between upper end portions of the adjacent column members 3 constituting the framework 2, bridging a beam member 11 that serves as a window sill between intermediate portions of the adjacent column members 3 constituting the framework 2, and bridging a base member 12 as a horizontal frame member between lower end portions of the adjacent column members 3 constituting the framework 2. As shown in FIG. 3, it is to be noted that an upper end portion of each column member 3 is fixed to a beam member 4 constituting the framework 1 via a column head metal fitting 15, a...

Abstract

A bearing wall partitions into a plurality of openings and in a vertical direction between adjacent column members by bridging a beam member that serves as a window sill between intermediate portions of the adjacent column members in a framework. Both end portions of the beam member are tied to intermediate portions of the adjacent column members via metal joints. A window is installed in the upper opening, and a peripheral end portion of the structural plywood is fixed to the lower opening with a nail. The structural plywood is fixed with nails at a rough nail pitch.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a bearing wall of a wooden house capable of maintaining satisfactory seismic resistance while allowing installation of a window.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In a wooden house, bearing walls are provided to meet the required wall quantity, so that the wooden house can withstand horizontal force during an earthquake or a typhoon. This type of bearing wall is configured by bridging a brace over an opening between adjacent column members in a framework, or sticking a structural plywood so as to cover the entire opening between adjacent column members in a framework.[0003]In general, it is impossible to attach a brace or a structural plywood as described above in a part where a window is installed, it is difficult to maintain satisfactory seismic resistance, and the wall is often not accepted as a bearing wall. For this reason, installation of a window may be restricted in order to meet the required wall quantity.[0004]Therefore, in recent yea...
