Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a wooden structure building including a floor part, a wall vertically connected to the floor part, and a ceiling part vertically connected to the wall and arranged parallel to the floor part;
and
a seismic reinforcement structure comprising:
a first bracket connecting a top surface of the floor part and an inner surface of one side of the wall;
and
a second bracket connecting a bottom surface of the ceiling part and an inner surface of an opposite side of the wall;
wherein the first bracket includes a horizontal planar portion formed without bending and coupled to the top surface of the floor part, a vertical planar portion formed without bending and coupled to the inner surface of the one side of the wall, and a curved portion formed to have a predetermined radius of curvature without bending and connecting one end of the horizontal portion and one end of the vertical portion;
wherein the second bracket includes a horizontal planar portion formed without bending and coupled to a top surface of the ceiling part, a vertical planar portion formed without bending and coupled to the inner surface of the opposite side of the wall, and a curved portion formed to have a predetermined radius of curvature without bending and connecting one end of the horizontal portion of the second bracket and one end of the vertical portion of the second bracket;
wherein the horizontal portion of the first bracket and the horizontal portion of the second bracket are connected by a connection support rod extending vertically, so that when an earthquake occurs, left and right vibration of the wall is allowed by the first and second brackets, which are each formed of flat surfaces without bending and a curved surface;
wherein the left and right vibration of the wall is limited by the connection support rod connecting the horizontal portions of the first and second brackets;
wherein a reinforcing bracket is installed between the wall and the connection support rod at an intermediate height between the first and second brackets, the reinforcing bracket having a sideways U-shaped profile defined by a flat upper plate, a flat lower plate facing the upper plate, and a side plate connecting the upper and lower plates and extending in a height direction;
and
wherein the connection support rod vertically passes through the horizontal portions of the first and second brackets, the reinforcing bracket and the ceiling part of the building, so that an upper end thereof is fixed to the ceiling part and a lower end thereof is inserted into the floor part of the building.
