Abstract

A framework wall structure, a building and a framework wall construction method that may improve structural performance against horizontal force and prevent damage to and around a joining member are provided. A viscoelastic member is sandwiched between joining surfaces of an adjacent member set formed of a stud, a lintel receiving portion and a block so that the viscoelastic member absorbs energy of horizontal force and absorption performance of vibration may be improved. Also, the viscoelastic member may decrease a shear force applied to a nail, prevent that the nail is deformed and a nail hole is enlarged, and prevent damages of the nail and a nailed member.

Dependent claims

A framework wall structure, wherein a floor body or a roof body is supported on an upper side of a wall body, the wall body comprising:

a framework having a top plate, a bottom plate, and right and left studs;
and
a surface material fixed to the framework;
the framework wall structure comprising:
a vertical member extending vertically along each of the right and left studs and supporting a horizontal member;
the horizontal member extending horizontally along the top plate or the bottom plate, wherein
the right and left studs arg adjacent to each other, each of the right and left studs and the vertical member, the top plate and the horizontal member, the bottom plate and the horizontal member, and the horizontal members form an adjacent member set so that a surface along a longitudinal direction is a joining surface, and joining surfaces are joined by joining members to oppose to each other, and wherein
a sheet-like viscoelastic member is attached so as to be sandwiched between at least one pair of the joining surfaces of the adjacent member set.
