Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a construction method for wooden buildings. [Background technology]

[0002] Multi-story pagodas, such as three-story and five-story pagodas, are among Japan's traditional wooden buildings. While it is said that no multi-story pagodas have ever collapsed due to earthquakes, there are cases where they have collapsed due to strong wind pressure, such as that from a typhoon. When subjected to strong wind pressure, the pillars of each floor of a multi-story pagoda are lifted away from the foundation stones and cross members that support the base of the pillars. If the pillars on the first floor are lifted above a certain height, the multi-story pagoda will fall over and be completely destroyed.

[0003] Non-Patent Document 1 discloses a five-story pagoda in which steel tie rods are additionally installed to connect the beams on the top floor to the foundation in order to prevent the columns on each floor from lifting up from the foundation and cross members. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0004] [Non-Patent Document 1] Taisei Corporation website, [Searched on July 17, 2023], Internet<URL:https: / / www.taisei-techsolu.jp / solution / temple / hounenji_gojyunotou1.html > Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in the case of the technology described in Non-Patent Document 1, the tie rods made of steel bars appear inside each layer, which causes a problem of impairing the design. This problem is not limited to multi-story towers, but occurs in the same way in any structure that prevents columns from lifting up from the foundation or from the cross members. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] Various aspects of the construction method for wooden buildings to solve the above problems will be described. [Aspect 1] A wooden building construction method comprising: a plurality of wooden pillars; foundations or wooden lower cross members supporting the lower end surfaces of the pillars; and connecting members connecting the pillars; wherein each of the pillars, the foundations or the lower cross members, and the connecting members constitute a story; a column base bolt placement step of placing a plurality of column base bolts corresponding to each of the columns on the foundation or the lower cross member so as to protrude upward from an upper surface of the foundation or the lower cross member; a column connector forming process for forming a column connector in which each of the columns is connected via the connecting member, the column connector having an insertion portion that opens at the lower end surface of each of the columns and extends in the vertical direction; a column base bolt insertion process in which the column connector is lowered and the column base bolt is inserted into the insertion portion; and a column base bolt tightening step of fastening the column base bolt to the column to connect the column connector to the foundation or the lower cross member. Construction method of wooden buildings.

[0007] According to this construction method, in the column base bolt placement step, multiple column base bolts corresponding to each column are placed on the foundation or lower cross member so as to protrude upward from the top surface of the foundation or lower cross member. In the column connector formation step, the columns are connected via connecting members to form a column connector having insertion portions that open on the lower end surfaces of the columns and extend in the vertical direction. In the column base bolt insertion step, the column connector is lowered to insert the column base bolts into the insertion portions. In the column base bolt tightening step, the column base bolts are tightened to the columns, thereby connecting the column connector to the foundation or lower cross member. This makes it easy to build a wooden building in which the legs of multiple columns are connected to the foundation or lower cross member via column base bolts that extend in the vertical direction.

[0008] Furthermore, in wooden buildings constructed using this method, the uplift force acting on the base of the column is transmitted to the lower cross member or foundation via the column base bolts. In other words, by placing column base bolts at the base of the column, the column is able to withstand not only vertical compressive forces but also vertical tensile forces.

[0009] Furthermore, the column base bolts are inserted into the column bases, so they are not visible on the design surface, preventing the column base bolts from damaging the design of the wooden building.

[0010] [Aspect 2] The wooden building comprises multiple stories, a column capital bolt arranging step of arranging a column capital bolt on each of the columns so that the column bolt protrudes upward from the upper end surface of the column constituting the layer; an upper beam connector forming process for forming an upper beam connector that is configured by connecting a plurality of wooden upper beams and has a through-hole that penetrates the upper beams; a lower beam connector forming process for forming a lower beam connector configured by connecting a plurality of the lower beams and disposed above the upper beam connector; a column head bolt insertion step of lowering the upper cross-member connector to insert the column head bolt into the penetration portion; a beam connector forming step of connecting the upper beam connector and the lower beam connector via beam bolts extending in the vertical direction to form a beam connector before or after the column head bolt insertion step; a column head bolt tightening step for fastening the column head bolt to the upper cross member to connect the cross member connector to the column connector, In each of the layers, the column base bolt arrangement process, the column connector formation process, the column base bolt insertion process, the column base bolt tightening process, the column head bolt arrangement process, the upper cross member connector formation process, the lower cross member connector formation process, the column head bolt insertion process, the cross member connector formation process, and the column head bolt tightening process are performed. A method for constructing a wooden building according to aspect 1.

[0011] According to this construction method, in the column head bolt placement step, a column head bolt is placed on each column so as to protrude upward from the upper end face of the column constituting the corresponding story. In the upper beam connector formation step, a plurality of wooden upper beams are connected to form an upper beam connector having a through-hole penetrating the upper beams. In the lower beam connector formation step, a plurality of lower beams are connected to form a lower beam connector arranged above the upper beam connector. In the column head bolt insertion step, the beam connector is lowered and the column head bolt is inserted through the through-hole. In the beam connector formation step, the upper beam connector and the lower beam connector are connected via beam bolts extending in the vertical direction to form a beam connector. In the column head bolt tightening step, the column head bolt is tightened to the upper beam, thereby connecting the beam connector to the column connector. Furthermore, in each story of the wooden building, the following steps are performed: a column base bolt placement step, a column connector formation step, a column base bolt insertion step, a column base bolt tightening step, a column head bolt placement step, an upper cross member connector formation step, a lower cross member connector formation step, a column head bolt insertion step, a cross member connector formation step, and a column head bolt tightening step. This makes it easy to erect a wooden building with multiple stories in which the bases of multiple columns and the foundation or lower cross members are connected via column base bolts extending in the vertical direction, and the cross member connectors and the heads of multiple columns are connected via column head bolts extending in the vertical direction.

[0012] In wooden buildings constructed using this method, gravity and uplift forces are transmitted in the following order from the second floor onwards: lower beam connectors, upper beam connectors, columns, and lower beam connectors. In the first floor, gravity and uplift forces are transmitted in the following order: lower beam connectors, upper beam connectors, columns, and foundations. By placing column head bolts and column base bolts at the head and base of the columns, respectively, the columns are able to withstand not only vertical compressive forces but also vertical tensile forces.

[0013] In addition, by placing a cross member bolt between the upper cross member connector and the lower cross member connector arranged above the upper cross member connector, the axial force of the column can be transmitted from the column in the layer directly above to the column in that layer.

[0014] Furthermore, the column base bolts and column head bolts are inserted into the base and head of the column, respectively. Therefore, these bolts are not visible on the design surface, which prevents the bolts from damaging the design of the wooden building.

[0015] [Aspect 3] The wooden building is a multi-story tower. A construction method for a wooden building according to aspect 2.

[0016] This construction method effectively prevents the collapse of multi-story towers due to strong winds such as typhoons, while preventing the design of the towers from being damaged. [Aspect 4] In the column base bolt tightening process, a washer and a nut are attached to the upper end of the column base bolt, which is exposed inside a countersunk hole portion that opens on the outer surface of the column and communicates with the insertion portion, thereby tightening the column base bolt to the column. A construction method for a wooden building according to any one of aspects 1 to 3.

[0017] According to this construction method, a washer and nut can be attached to the upper end of the column base bolt through the countersunk groove, making it easy to fasten the column base bolt to the column. Also, because only the upper end of the column base bolt is exposed inside the countersunk groove, it is possible to further prevent the column base bolt from damaging the design of the wooden building. [Effects of the Invention]

[0018] According to the present invention, it is possible to easily erect a wooden building that can prevent columns from lifting up from the foundation or lower cross members while preventing damage to the design. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0064] The connecting member 320 includes a cross member provided between adjacent side posts 312 . 4, the lower portions of a plurality of column base bolts 51 extending in the vertical direction are inserted into the cross member connector 250 of the two-story assembly 200. The upper portions of the column base bolts 51 protrude upward from the upper surfaces of the lower cross members 241, 242.

[0065] The upper part of the column base bolt 51 is inserted into a lower insertion part (not shown) provided in the leg part 314 of the column 311. Then, as in the second layer, the upper end part of the column base bolt 51 is exposed inside a lower trench part (not shown) provided in the leg part 314 of the column 311. A washer and a nut are attached to the upper end part of the column base bolt 51 (neither is shown). In this way, the leg part 314 of the column 311 and the cross-member connector 250 are connected via the column base bolt 51.

[0066] (Beam connector 350) As shown in FIG. 5, the horizontal member connector 350 includes an upper horizontal member connector 330 and a lower horizontal member connector 340 disposed above the upper horizontal member connector 330.

[0067] The upper cross member connector 330 is configured by connecting a plurality of wooden upper cross members 331 and 332 , and is disposed above the column connector 310 . Specifically, the upper cross-member connector 330 has two upper cross-members 331 extending parallel to each other with a gap between them, and two upper cross-members 332 extending perpendicular to the upper cross-members 331 and also extending parallel to each other with a gap between them. The joints between the upper cross-members 331, 332 are half-open. The upper cross-members 331, 332 are assembled in a grid pattern so that the heights of the top faces of the upper cross-members 331, 332 and the heights of the bottom faces of the upper cross-members 331, 332 are the same, and are supported on the top face of the bracket (not shown) located at the top of the bracing connector 360.

[0068] The lower beam connector 340 is configured by connecting a plurality of wooden lower beams 341 and 342 together, and is disposed above the upper beam connector 330 . More specifically, the lower cross-member connector 340 has two lower cross members 341 extending parallel to each other with a gap between them, and two lower cross members 342 extending perpendicular to the lower cross members 341 and also extending parallel to each other with a gap between them. The lower cross members 342 are supported on the upper surface of the lower cross members 341. The lower cross-member connector 340 as a whole has a grid shape.

[0069] Although not shown in the drawings, the upper cross member connector 330 and the lower cross member connector 340 are connected via a cross member bolt extending in the vertical direction. (Shinbashira 80) As shown in Figs. 1 and 4, a central pillar 80 is provided at the center of the tower to support a sorin (not shown) placed on the top of the roof.

[0070] 8, the lower surface of a receiving member 143 is supported between the upper surfaces of two lower horizontal members 141 on the inside of the first story. The lower end surface of the central pillar 80 is supported by the receiving member 143.

[0071] In such a tower, the side pillars 212, 312 and the four heavenly pillars 213, 313 are arranged more inward in the upper floors, and the width of the side surfaces is made smaller, that is, tapered. Next, the construction method of the tower of this embodiment will be described.

[0072] First, a plurality of column base bolts 51 corresponding to each of the columns 111 on the first floor are placed on the foundation 90 so as to protrude upward from the top surface of the foundation 90 (this is the column base bolt placing step). Furthermore, each of the pillars 111 is connected via a connecting member 120, and a pillar connector 110 is formed having a lower insertion portion 115 that opens at the lower end surface of each of the pillars 111 and extends in the vertical direction (this is the pillar connector forming process).

[0073] Furthermore, the column connector 110 is lowered to insert the column base bolts 51 into the lower insertion portions 115 (this is the column base bolt insertion step). At this time, it is preferable to use heavy machinery such as a crane.

[0074] Then, the column connector 110 is connected to the foundation 90 by fastening the column base bolt 51 to the column 111 (this is the column base bolt fastening step). Furthermore, column capital bolts 61, 62 are arranged on each of the columns 111 so as to protrude upward from the upper end surfaces of the columns 111 that constitute the first story (this is the column capital bolt arranging step).

[0075] Furthermore, a plurality of wooden upper beam members 131, 132 are connected to form an upper beam connector 130 having through-holes 133, 134 that penetrate the upper beam members 131, 132 (upper beam connector forming process). A plurality of lower beam members 141, 142 are connected to form a lower beam connector 140 that is disposed above the upper beam connector 130 (lower beam connector forming process). Then, the upper beam connector 130 and the lower beam connector 140 are connected via beam bolts 41 that extend in the vertical direction to form a beam connector 150 (below beam connector forming process).

[0076] Furthermore, the beam connector 150 is lowered to insert the column capital bolts 61, 62 into the through-holes 133, 134 (these are column capital bolt insertion steps). Then, the column capital bolts 61, 62 are fastened to the upper cross members 131, 132, whereby the cross member connector 150 is connected to the column connector 110 (this is the column capital bolt fastening step).

[0077] In this manner, the first floor assembly 100 is assembled on the foundation 90. Next, a plurality of column base bolts 51 corresponding to each of the columns 211 on the second floor are placed on the lower cross members 141, 142 so as to protrude upward from the top surface of the lower cross member 142 on the first floor (this is the column base bolt placement process).

[0078] Furthermore, each of the pillars 211 is connected via a connecting member 220, and a pillar connector 210 is formed having a lower insertion portion 215 that opens at the lower end surface of each of the pillars 211 and extends in the vertical direction (this is the pillar connector forming process).

[0079] Furthermore, the column connector 210 is lowered to insert the column base bolts 51 into the lower insertion portions 215 (this is the column base bolt insertion process). At this time, it is preferable to use heavy machinery such as a crane, as in the first story.

[0080] Then, the column connectors 110, 210 are connected to the lower cross members 141, 142 by fastening the column base bolts 51 to the column 211 (this completes the column base bolt fastening process). Furthermore, column capital bolts 61, 62 are arranged on each of the columns 211 so as to protrude upward from the upper end surfaces of the columns 211 that make up the second floor (this is the column capital bolt arranging step).

[0081] Furthermore, an upper beam connector 230 is formed by connecting a plurality of wooden upper beams 231, 232 and having a through-hole (not shown) that penetrates the upper beams 231, 232, and a lower beam connector 240 is formed by connecting a plurality of lower beams 241, 242 and is arranged above the upper beam connector 230. Then, the upper beam connector 230 and the lower beam connector 240 are connected via beam bolts (not shown) that extend in the vertical direction to form a beam connector 250 (this is the beam connector forming process).

[0082] Furthermore, the cross member connector 250 is lowered and the column head bolt (not shown) is inserted into the through-hole (not shown) (this is the column head bolt insertion step). Then, the column capital bolts 61, 62 are fastened to the upper horizontal members 231, 232, whereby the horizontal member connector 250 is connected to the column connector 210 (this is the column capital bolt fastening step).

[0083] In this way, the second-story assembly 200 is assembled on top of the lower cross member 142 of the first story. Finally, the three-tier assembly 300 is assembled on top of the lower cross member 242 of the second tier in the same manner as the two-tier assembly 200.

[0084] In this way, on each floor, the following processes are carried out: a process of placing bolts for the column base, a process of forming a column connector, a process of inserting bolts for the column base, a process of tightening bolts for the column base, a process of placing bolts for the column head, a process of forming a cross member connector, a process of inserting bolts for the column head, and a process of tightening bolts for the column head.

[0085] Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. A tower having multiple stories can be easily constructed in which the legs 114, 214, 314 of multiple columns 111, 211, 311 are connected to the foundation 90 or lower cross members 141, 142, 241, 242 via column base bolts 51, and cross member connectors 150, 250, 350 are connected to the heads 117 of multiple columns 111, 211, 311 via column head bolts 61, 62.

[0086] In a tower constructed using this construction method, on the third floor, gravity and uplift forces are transmitted in order from lower beam connectors 340, upper beam connectors 330, columns 311, and lower beam connectors 240 on the second floor. On the second floor, gravity and uplift forces are transmitted in order from lower beam connectors 240, upper beam connectors 230, columns 211, and lower beam connectors 140 on the first floor. On the first floor, gravity and uplift forces are transmitted in order from lower beam connectors 140, upper beam connectors 130, columns 111, and foundation 90. That is, by placing the column head bolts 61, 62 and the column base bolts 51 on the heads 117 and legs 114, 214, 314 of the columns 111, 211, 311, respectively, the columns 111, 211, 311 are able to bear not only vertical compressive forces but also vertical tensile forces.

[0087] In addition, by placing a cross member bolt 41 between the upper cross member connector 130 and the lower cross member connector 140 arranged above the upper cross member connector 130, the axial force of the columns 211, 311 is transmitted from the columns 211, 311 in the floor immediately above to the columns 111, 211 in question.

[0088] Furthermore, the column base bolts 51 and column head bolts 61, 62 are inserted into the legs 114, 214, 314 and heads 117 of the columns 111, 211, 311, respectively. Therefore, these bolts 51, 61, 62 do not appear on the design surface of the tower. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the bolts 51, 61, 62 from damaging the design of the tower.

[0089] Next, the effects of this embodiment will be described. (1) The construction method for a three-story wooden pagoda includes a process of arranging bolts for column bases, a process of forming column connectors, a process of inserting bolts for column bases, a process of tightening bolts for column bases, a process of arranging bolts for column capital parts, a process of forming cross member connectors, and a process of tightening bolts for column capital parts.Then, on each story, the process of arranging bolts for column bases, the process of forming column connectors, the process of inserting bolts for column bases, the process of tightening bolts for column capital parts, the process of forming cross member connectors, the process of inserting bolts for column capital parts, and the process of tightening bolts for column capital parts are performed.

[0090] This configuration achieves the above-mentioned effects, and effectively prevents the wooden three-story pagoda from collapsing due to strong winds such as those caused by typhoons, while preventing the design of the wooden three-story pagoda from being damaged.

[0091] (2) In the column base bolt tightening process, a washer 71 and a nut 72 are attached to the upper end of the column base bolt 51 exposed inside the lower seat groove portion 116, thereby tightening the column base bolt 51 to the column 111.

[0092] According to this method, the washer 71 and the nut 72 can be attached to the upper end of the column base bolt 51 through the lower trench washer 116, making it easy to fasten the column base bolt 51 to the column 111. Furthermore, because only the upper end of the column base bolt 51 is exposed inside the lower trench washer 116, it is possible to further prevent the column base bolt 51 from damaging the design of the wooden building.

[0093] (3) The lower trench 116 is filled with wood, so the upper end of the column base bolt 51 is not exposed through the lower trench 116. This prevents the column base bolt 51 from damaging the design of the wooden building.

[0094] <Modification> This embodiment can be modified as follows: This embodiment and the following modifications can be combined and implemented within the scope of technical compatibility.

[0095] The braid body 161 is not limited to the three-step-ahead braid, so-called three-step-ahead Tokyo, but can be other braids such as two-step-ahead braids, or can be the so-called cloud Tokyo. The filling process for the lower seat trench portion 116 and the upper seat trench portion 119 may be omitted.

[0096] The present invention is not limited to the construction method of a three-story pagoda, but can also be embodied as the construction method of a five-story pagoda or a seven-story pagoda. The present invention is not limited to the construction of multi-story towers, but can also be applied to other wooden buildings such as temple gates, or to single-story wooden buildings. In this case, the column capital bolt placement process, cross member connector formation process, column capital bolt insertion process, and column capital bolt tightening process can be omitted.

[0097] In the above embodiment, after the cross member connector 150 is formed, the cross member connector 150 is lowered to insert the column head bolts 61, 62 into the through-holes 133, 134. Alternatively, before the cross member connector 150 is formed, only the upper cross member connector 130 may be lowered to insert the column head bolts 61, 62 into the through-holes 133, 134. In this case, after the column head bolt insertion step, the cross member connector 150 can be formed by connecting the upper cross member connector 130 and the lower cross member connector 140 via the cross member bolts 41 extending in the vertical direction. The same applies to two-story and three-story structures.

[0098] The number of side pillars 312 on the third floor can be set to 12, just like on the second floor. The number of column base bolts 51 and the number of column capital bolts 61, 62 provided on one column 111, 211, 311 may be changed.

[0099] The central pillar 80 may be extended to the first floor. The braid connector 160 can also be omitted. In this case, the side posts 112 can be extended to the height of the lower surface of the upper cross-member connector 130, as shown in Figure 14. [Explanation of symbols]
