[0004] The larger the number of column through holes provided in the wooden column, the greater the cross-sectional loss of the wooden column, and thus the strength of the wooden column decreases.

[0005] (1) A connecting member according to one aspect of the present disclosure is a connecting member that connects a wooden column and a steel horizontal member, and includes a column connection portion connected to the side surface of the wooden column, a first horizontal member connection portion to which the steel horizontal member is connected, a second horizontal member connection portion to which the steel horizontal member is connected and arranged with a gap from the first horizontal member connection portion, a first connection portion that connects the column connection portion and the first horizontal member connection portion, and a second connection portion that connects the column connection portion and the second horizontal member connection portion. A plurality of column connection holes through which column connection bolts inserted through through holes provided in the wooden column are inserted are provided in the column connection portion. The plurality of column connection holes are arranged in a row and overlap the gap when viewed from the insertion direction of the column connection bolts with respect to the column connection holes.

[0006] With this configuration, the multiple column connection holes overlap with the gap between the first horizontal member connection part and the second horizontal member connection part when viewed from the direction in which the column connection bolts are inserted into the column connection holes. Therefore, the column connection part can be connected to the wooden column through this gap. In addition, since the multiple column connection holes are arranged in a row, the row of through holes provided in the wooden column can also be made in a row. Consequently, compared to the conventional technology in which the wooden column has two rows of through holes, the cross-sectional loss of the wooden column can be reduced.

[0007] (2) A connection structure between a wooden column and a steel horizontal member, which is one aspect of the present disclosure, is a connection structure between a wooden column and a steel horizontal member in which the wooden column and the steel horizontal member are connected by a connecting member, wherein the connecting member is the connecting member described in (1) above.

[0008] (3) In the connection structure between the wooden column and the iron horizontal member described in (2) above, the iron horizontal member has a web, and the iron horizontal member and the connecting member are connected by an auxiliary connecting member, the auxiliary connecting member comprising a first angle member positioned on the first surface of the web and connecting the first horizontal member connecting portion and the web, and a second angle member positioned on the second surface of the web which is the surface opposite to the first surface and connecting the second horizontal member connecting portion and the web.

[0009] This configuration simplifies the construction of the connecting members compared to cases where the connecting members are configured to allow direct connection of steel horizontal members, thus simplifying the manufacturing of the connecting members.

[0010] Furthermore, since the web of the steel horizontal member is sandwiched between the first angle member and the second angle member, the connection state of the auxiliary connecting member to the steel horizontal member is stabilized. (4) In the connection structure between the wooden column and the steel horizontal member described in (2) above, the steel horizontal member has an end plate located at the end in the direction in which the steel horizontal member extends, and the end plate is connected to the first horizontal member connection part and the second horizontal member connection part, respectively.

[0011] With this configuration, the steel horizontal members can be directly connected to the connecting members. (5) A building that solves the above problem has a connection structure between any one of the wooden columns and the steel horizontal members described in (2) to (4) above.

[0012] According to the connecting member, the connection structure between a wooden column and a steel horizontal member, and the building described herein, the cross-sectional loss of the wooden column can be reduced.

[0022] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the column connecting portion 50 is positioned on the first side surface 12a of the wooden column 12 such that the column connecting hole 50a overlaps with the first column through hole 21. The shaft portion of the first column connecting bolt B11, which serves as a column connecting bolt, is inserted through the first column through hole 21 and the column connecting hole 50a. In this embodiment, the first column connecting bolt B11 is inserted from the second side surface 12b of the wooden column 12 toward the first side surface 12a. The first column connecting nut N11 is locked onto the first column connecting bolt B11. As a result, the column connecting portion 50 of the connecting member 15 is connected to the first side surface 12a of the wooden column 12.

[0023] The first beam connection section 51 and the second beam connection section 52 are the parts to which the steel beam 13 is connected. In this embodiment, the steel beam 13 is indirectly connected to the first beam connection section 51 and the second beam connection section 52 via an auxiliary connecting member 16.

[0024] The first beam connection section 51 and the second beam connection section 52 are positioned at a distance from the column connection section 50 in the first direction X1. The first beam connection section 51 and the second beam connection section 52 face the opposite side of the facing surface of the wooden column 12 in the column connection section 50 that faces the first side surface 12a. The second beam connection section 52 is aligned with the first beam connection section 51 in the second direction X2 with a gap G in between. The dimensions of the gap G in the second direction X2 are set to allow insertion of a tool for locking the first column connection nut N11 onto the first column connection bolt B11.

[0025] Multiple column connecting holes 50a arranged in a row overlap with the gap G when viewed from the direction in which the first column connecting bolt B11 is inserted into the column connecting holes 50a. In this embodiment, the direction in which the first column connecting bolt B11 is inserted into the column connecting holes 50a is the first direction X1. Therefore, multiple column connecting holes 50a arranged in a row overlap with the gap G when viewed from the first direction X1.

[0026] As shown in Figure 2, the first beam connection portion 51 is provided with a plurality of first beam connection holes 51a.

[0028] The auxiliary connecting member 16 connects the connecting member 15 and the steel beam 13. In this embodiment, the auxiliary connecting member 16 is composed of a first angle member 61 and a second angle member 62. The first angle member 61 and the second angle member 62 each have a flat plate-shaped first angle component 63 and a flat plate-shaped second angle component 64.

The portion of the end face 40 of the wooden beam 14 located between the two slits 41 is recessed relative to the portions of the end face 40 of the wooden beam 14 located on either side of the two slits 41.

[0036] The wooden beam 14 is provided with multiple wooden beam through-holes 42. Note that only one wooden beam through-hole 42 is shown in Figure 3. The multiple wooden beam through-holes 42 are arranged in a line at equal intervals in the vertical direction Z. Each wooden beam through-hole 42 penetrates the wooden beam 14 in the first direction X1, passing through two slits 41.

[0037] The first connecting member 17a and the second connecting member 17b each have a base portion 70 and two extensions 71 extending from the base portion 70. The two extensions 71 are perpendicular to the base portion 70. The two extensions 71 extend parallel to each other. The first connecting member 17a and the second connecting member 17b are each formed, for example, by bending a single steel plate. The base portion 70 and the two extensions 71 are each plate-shaped.

[0038] Multiple bolt insertion holes 70a are provided in the base portion 70. Note that only one bolt insertion hole 70a is shown in Figure 3. The multiple bolt insertion holes 70a are arranged in a row at equal intervals in the vertical direction Z. Each bolt insertion hole 70a penetrates the base portion 70 in the thickness direction. Multiple pin insertion holes 71a are provided in each extension portion 71. Note that only one pin insertion hole 71a is shown in Figure 3. The multiple pin insertion holes 71a are arranged in a row at equal intervals in the vertical direction Z. Each pin insertion hole 71a penetrates the extension portion 71 in the thickness direction.

[0039] The base 70 of the first connecting member 17a is positioned on the third side surface 12c of the wooden column 12 such that the bolt insertion hole 70a overlaps with the second column through hole 22. The base 70 of the second connecting member 17b is positioned on the fourth side surface 12d of the wooden column 12 such that the bolt insertion hole 70a overlaps with the second column through hole 22.

[0040] The second column connecting bolt B12 is inserted through the bolt insertion hole 70a of the first connecting member 17a, the second column through hole 22 of the wooden column 12, and the bolt insertion hole 70a of the second connecting member 17b.

Draft pins P are inserted through the two pin insertion holes 71a and the wooden beam penetration holes 42. In this way, the first connecting member 17a is connected to the first wooden beam 14a.

[0042] The two extensions 71 of the second connecting member 17b are inserted into the two slits 41 of the second wooden beam 14b such that the pin insertion holes 71a overlap with the wooden beam penetration holes 42. Draft pins P are inserted through the two pin insertion holes 71a and the wooden beam penetration holes 42. In this way, the second connecting member 17b is connected to the second wooden beam 14b.

[0043] <Method of connecting the wooden column 12 and the steel beam 13> The connection work between the wooden column 12 and the steel beam 13 is performed by a worker. First, the worker connects the wooden column 12 and the connecting member 15. Specifically, the worker positions the column connecting portion 50 of the connecting member 15 on the first side surface 12a of the wooden column 12 such that the column connecting hole 50a of the connecting member 15 aligns with the first column through hole 21 of the wooden column 12. The worker inserts the shaft portion of the first column connecting bolt B11 through the first column through hole 21 and the column connecting hole 50a. The tip of the shaft portion of the first column connecting bolt B11 protrudes from the side of the column connecting portion 50 that is opposite to the side facing the wooden column 12. As described above, a gap G is provided between the first beam connecting portion 51 and the second beam connecting portion 52. The worker inserts a tool into the gap G to lock the first column connecting nut N11 onto the first column connecting bolt B11, thereby locking the first column connecting nut N11 onto the first column connecting bolt B11. This connects the wooden column 12 and the connecting member 15.

[0044] Next, the operator connects the iron beam 13 and the auxiliary connecting member 16. Specifically, the operator arranges the first angle component 63 of the first angle member 61 of the auxiliary connecting member 16 on the first surface 30a of the web 30 of the iron beam 13 so that the first auxiliary connecting hole 63a of the first angle member 61 overlaps with the iron beam through hole 33 of the iron beam 13. The operator arranges the first angle component 63 of the second angle member 62 of the auxiliary connecting member 16 on the second surface 30b of the web 30 of the iron beam 13 so that the first auxiliary connecting hole 63a of the second angle member 62 overlaps with the iron beam through hole 33 of the iron beam 13. After the operator inserts the first auxiliary bolt B21 through the first auxiliary connecting hole 63a of the first angle member 61, the iron beam through hole 33, and the first auxiliary connecting hole 63a of the second angle member 62, the operator locks the first auxiliary nut N21 to the first auxiliary bolt B21. Thereby, the iron beam 13 and the auxiliary connecting member 16 are connected. Note that the connection work between the iron beam 13 and the auxiliary connecting member 16 may be performed prior to the connection work between the wooden column 12 and the connecting member 15.

[0045] Next, the operator connects the connecting member 15 and the auxiliary connecting member 16. Specifically, the operator arranges the second angle component 64 of the first angle member 61 of the auxiliary connecting member 16 on the first beam connecting portion 51 so that the second auxiliary connecting hole 64a of the first angle member 61 of the auxiliary connecting member 16 overlaps with the first beam connecting hole 51a of the first beam connecting portion 51 of the connecting member 15. After the operator inserts the second auxiliary bolt B22 through the second auxiliary connecting hole 64a and the first beam connecting hole 51a, the operator locks the second auxiliary nut N22 to the second auxiliary bolt B22. Thereby, the connecting member 15 and the first angle member 61 of the auxiliary connecting member 16 are connected.

[0046] The operator arranges the second angle component 64 of the second angle member 62 of the auxiliary connection member 16 on the second beam connection portion 52 so that the second auxiliary connection hole 64a of the second angle member 62 overlaps with the second beam connection hole 52a of the second beam connection portion 52 of the connection member 15. After the operator inserts the second auxiliary bolt B22 through the second auxiliary connection hole 64a and the second beam connection hole 52a, the operator locks the second auxiliary nut N22 to the second auxiliary bolt B22. Thereby, the connection member 15 and the second angle member 62 of the auxiliary connection member 16 are connected. By connecting the connection member 15 connected to the wooden column 12 and the auxiliary connection member 16 connected to the steel beam 13 to each other, the wooden column 12 and the steel beam 13 are connected.

[0051] The two splice plates 19 are positioned to sandwich the web 30 of the steel beam 13. The two splice plates 19 are connected to the steel beam 13 by nuts N being fastened to bolts B that pass through the two splice plates 19 and the web 30. The two splice plates 19 are also positioned to sandwich the second plate 82 of the T-shaped metal fitting 18. The two splice plates 19 are connected to the second plate 82 of the T-shaped metal fitting 18 by nuts N being fastened to bolts B that pass through the two splice plates 19 and the second plate 82.

[0052] In this way, when the wooden column 12 and the iron beam 13 are connected by a T-shaped metal fitting 18, the T-shaped metal fitting 18 is provided with two rows of column connecting holes 81a and 81b, and therefore the wooden column 12 is also provided with two rows of first column through holes 21a and 21b. In this case, the cross-sectional loss of the wooden column 12 becomes large, and the strength of the wooden column 12 decreases. Also, the distance from the first column through hole 21a to the third side surface 12c of the wooden column 12, and the distance from the first column through hole 21b to the fourth side surface 12d of the wooden column 12 become small, so it may be difficult to increase the diameter of the first column through holes 21a and 21b, i.e., the hole diameter of the first column connecting bolt B11.

[0053] In contrast, in this embodiment, the wooden column 12 and the iron beam 13 are connected by a connecting member 15. The connecting member 15 includes a column connecting portion 50, a first beam connecting portion 51, a second beam connecting portion 52, a first connecting portion 53, and a second connecting portion 54. The column connecting portion 50 is connected to the first side surface 12a of the wooden column 12. The iron beam 13 is connected to the first beam connecting portion 51 and the second beam connecting portion 52. The second beam connecting portion 52 is aligned with the first beam connecting portion 51 with a gap G between them. The first connecting portion 53 connects the column connecting portion 50 and the first beam connecting portion 51. The second connecting portion 54 connects the column connecting portion 50 and the second beam connecting portion 52.

[0054] The column connecting section 50 is provided with a plurality of column connecting holes 50a. The column connecting section 50 is connected to the wooden column 12 by the column connecting holes 50a and the first column connecting bolt B11 inserted through the first column through hole 21 of the wooden column 12. The plurality of column connecting holes 50a are arranged in a row. When viewed from the direction in which the first column connecting bolt B11 is inserted into the column connecting holes 50a, the plurality of column connecting holes 50a are aligned with the gap G provided between the first beam connecting section 51 and the second beam connecting section 52.

[0055] Thus, in this embodiment, the multiple column connecting holes 50a overlap with the gap G when viewed from the direction in which the first column connecting bolt B11 is inserted into the column connecting holes 50a, so that the column connecting portion 50 to the wooden column 12 can be connected through the gap G. Specifically, with the first column connecting bolt B11 inserted through the first column through hole 21 and the column connecting holes 50a, the first column connecting nut N11 can be locked to the first column connecting bolt B11 by inserting a tool for locking the first column connecting nut N11 onto the first column connecting bolt B11 through the gap G.

[0056] Furthermore, since the multiple column connecting holes 50a are arranged in a single row, the row of first column through holes 21 provided in the wooden column 12 can also be arranged in a single row. Therefore, compared to the case where the first column through holes 21a and 21b are provided in two rows in the wooden column 12, as in the conventional technology, the cross-sectional loss of the wooden column 12 can be reduced. In addition, the distance from the first column through hole 21 to the third side surface 12c of the wooden column 12, and the distance from the first column through hole 21 to the fourth side surface 12d of the wooden column 12 are larger than the distance from the first column through hole 21a to the third side surface 12c of the wooden column 12, and the distance from the first column through hole 21b to the fourth side surface 12d of the wooden column 12 in the conventional technology. Therefore, it becomes possible to increase the diameter of the first column through hole 21, that is, the hole diameter of the first column connecting bolt B11.

[0057] [Effects of this embodiment] The effects of this embodiment will be described. (1) The connecting member 15 includes a column connecting portion 50 connected to the first side surface 12a of the wooden column 12, and a first beam connecting portion 51 and a second beam connecting portion 52 to which the iron beam 13 is connected. The second beam connecting portion 52 is aligned with the first beam connecting portion 51 with a gap G in between. The column connecting portion 50 is provided with a plurality of column connecting holes 50a. The column connecting portion 50 is connected to the wooden column 12 by the column connecting holes 50a and a first column connecting bolt B11 inserted through the first column through hole 21 of the wooden column 12. The plurality of column connecting holes 50a are arranged in a row and overlap with the gap G when viewed from the direction in which the first column connecting bolt B11 is inserted into the column connecting holes 50a.

[0058] With this configuration, the multiple column connection holes 50a overlap with the gap G when viewed from the direction in which the first column connection bolt B11 is inserted into the column connection holes 50a, so that the column connection part 50 can be connected to the wooden column 12 through the gap G. In addition, since the multiple column connection holes 50a are arranged in a row, the row of first column through holes 21 provided in the wooden column 12 can also be in a row. Therefore, compared to the case in the conventional technology where the first column through holes 21a and 21b are provided in two rows in the wooden column 12, the cross-sectional loss of the wooden column 12 can be reduced.

[0059] (2) The steel beam 13 has a web 30. The steel beam 13 and the connecting member 15 are connected by an auxiliary connecting member 16. The auxiliary connecting member 16 is composed of a first angle member 61 and a second angle member 62. The first angle member 61 is positioned on the first surface 30a of the web 30. The first angle member 61 connects the first beam connecting portion 51 and the web 30. The second angle member 62 is positioned on the second surface 30b of the web 30, which is the surface opposite to the first surface 30a. The second angle member 62 connects the second beam connecting portion 52 and the web 30.

[0060] With this configuration, the structure of the connecting member 15 can be simplified compared to the case where the connecting member 15 is configured to allow the iron beam 13 to be directly connected to the connecting member 15, thus making it easier to manufacture the connecting member 15.

[0061] Furthermore, since the web 30 of the steel beam 13 is sandwiched between the first angle member 61 and the second angle member 62, the connection state of the auxiliary connecting member 16 to the steel beam 13 is stabilized. (3) As described above, since the multiple column connecting holes 50a are arranged in a row, the row of first column through holes 21 provided in the wooden column 12 can also be arranged in a row. As a result, compared to the case in the conventional technology in which the first column through holes 21a and 21b are provided in two rows in the wooden column 12, the distance from the first column through hole 21 to the third side surface 12c of the wooden column 12 and the distance from the first column through hole 21 to the fourth side surface 12d of the wooden column 12 are increased. Therefore, it becomes possible to increase the diameter of the first column through hole 21, that is, the hole diameter of the first column connecting bolt B11.

[0062] (4) The arrangement structure of the column connection holes 50a of the connecting member 15 that connects the wooden column 12 and the steel beam 13 is substantially the same as the arrangement structure of the bolt insertion holes 70a of the first connecting member 17a and the second connecting member 17b that connect the wooden column 12 and the wooden beam 14, in that they are in a single row. For this reason, the arrangement structure of the first column through holes 21 provided in the wooden column 12 corresponding to the column connection holes 50a is substantially the same as the arrangement structure of the second column through holes 22 provided in the wooden column 12 corresponding to the bolt insertion holes 70a, in that they are in a single row. Thus, the arrangement structure of the first column through holes 21 and the arrangement structure of the second column through holes 22 can be made common. Specifically, the hole diameter and hole pitch of the first column through holes 21 and the hole diameter and hole pitch of the second column through holes 22 can be made equal. This makes the design of the connection structure between the wooden column 12 and the beam more efficient. Furthermore, the first column through-hole 21 can be drilled using the same equipment as that used to drill the second column through-hole 22.

[0063] (5) The steel beam 13 is connected to the auxiliary connecting member 16 by a first auxiliary bolt B21 inserted through the steel beam through hole 33 of the steel beam 13 and the first auxiliary connecting hole 63a of the auxiliary connecting member 16. The auxiliary connecting member 16 is connected to the connecting member 15 by a second auxiliary bolt B22 inserted through the second auxiliary connecting hole 64a of the auxiliary connecting member 16 and the first beam connecting hole 51a or the second beam connecting hole 52a of the connecting member 15. The height of the steel beam 13 can be finely adjusted on site by adjusting the positions of the first auxiliary bolt B21 and the second auxiliary bolt B22 in the vertical direction Z.

[0064] (6) By making the beam extending in the first direction X1 a steel beam 13, the length of the beam in the first direction X1 can be increased. <Example of modification> The above embodiment is an example of possible forms of the connecting member 15, the connection structure between the wooden column 12 and the steel beam 13, and the building 10, and is not intended to limit their form. The connecting member 15, the connection structure between the wooden column 12 and the steel beam 13, and the building 10 may take forms different from those exemplified in the above embodiment. Examples of such forms include forms in which a part of the configuration of the embodiment is replaced, changed, or omitted, or forms in which a new configuration is added to the embodiment. Modifications of the embodiment are shown below.

[0065] - The steel horizontal member is not limited to the steel beam 13, but may also be a steel girder. - In the above embodiment, the auxiliary connecting member 16 was composed of a first angle member 61 and a second angle member 62, but is not limited to this. The configuration of the auxiliary connecting member 16 may be changed as appropriate, as long as the steel beam 13 and the connecting member 15 can be connected by the auxiliary connecting member 16. The auxiliary connecting member 16 may be composed of, for example, a T-shaped metal fitting.

[0066] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the steel beam 13 may have end plates 34 located at the ends in the direction in which the steel beam 13 extends. The end plates 34 are provided with a plurality of first beam through holes 34a and a plurality of second beam through holes 34b.

[0067] Multiple first beam through-holes 34a are located on one side of the web 30. Multiple first beam through-holes 34a are arranged in a line at equal intervals in the vertical direction Z. Multiple second beam through-holes 34b are located on the other side of the web 30. Multiple second beam through-holes 34b are arranged in a line at equal intervals in the vertical direction Z.

[0068] The iron beam 13 is positioned on the first beam connecting portion 51 and the second beam connecting portion 52 of the connecting member 15 such that the first beam through hole 34a overlaps with the first beam connecting hole 51a, and the second beam through hole 34b overlaps with the second beam connecting hole 52a.

[0069] A beam connecting bolt B13 is inserted through the first beam through-hole 34a and the first beam connecting hole 51a. A beam connecting nut N13 is secured to the beam connecting bolt B13. As a result, the end plate 34 of the steel beam 13 is connected to the first beam connecting portion 51 of the connecting member 15.

[0070] A beam connecting bolt B13 is inserted through the second beam through-hole 34b and the second beam connecting hole 52a. A beam connecting nut N13 is secured to the beam connecting bolt B13. As a result, the end plate 34 of the steel beam 13 is connected to the second beam connecting portion 52 of the connecting member 15.

[0071] With this configuration, the steel beam 13 can be directly connected to the connecting member 15 without the need for the auxiliary connecting member 16. The dimensions of the connecting member 15 and the auxiliary connecting member 16 in the vertical direction Z may be appropriately changed according to the dimensions of the steel beam 13 in the vertical direction Z.

[0072] In the above embodiment, the first column connecting bolt B11 was inserted from the second side surface 12b to the first side surface 12a of the wooden column 12, but it may also be inserted from the first side surface 12a to the second side surface 12b of the wooden column 12. In this case, in order to allow the head of the first column connecting bolt B11 to be inserted into the gap G, the dimension of the gap G in the second direction X2 is set to be larger than the outer diameter of the head of the first column connecting bolt B11.

[0073] - The method of connecting the horizontal members to the wooden column 12 may be changed as appropriate. A steel beam 13 or a wooden beam 14 may be connected to the second side surface 12b of the wooden column 12.

[0074] A steel beam 13 may be connected to the third side 12c of the wooden column 12. A horizontal member may not be connected to the third side 12c of the wooden column 12. A steel beam 13 may be connected to the fourth side 12d of the wooden column 12. A horizontal member may not be connected to the fourth side 12d of the wooden column 12.
