Earthquake-Resistant Structure and Earthquake-Resistant Construction Method

Abstract

Disclosed are an earthquake-resistant structure and an earthquake-resistant construction method which secure survival space and breathable space in a building even when the building is damaged by an earthquake, thus suppressing victims originating from earthquake disaster. Partitions inside the building are removed, and steel racks that support the dead load of a building above the floors when the structure framework of the building is damaged by an earthquake are disposed in an exclusive area in the building to partition the exclusive area into rooms. Joint members or the like which connect a plurality of steel racks are attached to hold the layout form of the steel racks.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An earthquake-resistant structure comprising:
 metal vertical support members disposed at a plurality of locations in an exclusive area in a building as interior equipment or partitions to support a dead load of a building above a floor that the metal vertical support members are disposed when a structure framework is damaged by an earthquake; and   a shape holding member that connects between the plurality of metal vertical support members to hold a layout form of the metal vertical support members.   
     
     
         2 . The earthquake-resistant structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the metal vertical support member comprises a metal book shelf, a metal goods rack or a metal partition. 
     
     
         3 . The earthquake-resistant structure according to  claim 1 , further comprising a frame structure disposed in the exclusive area of the building and arranged in a space lattice form to form storage space. 
     
     
         4 . The earthquake-resistant structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the shape holding member includes a joint member to joint the plurality of metal vertical support members. 
     
     
         5 . The earthquake-resistant structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the shape holding member includes bracing members set to traverse a layout form of the plurality of metal vertical support members disposed as to enclose indoor space of the building. 
     
     
         6 . The earthquake-resistant structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the shape holding member includes a corner reinforcing member to reinforce intersecting portions of the metal vertical support members arranged adjacent to each other. 
     
     
         7 . An earthquake-resistant structure comprising:
 metal vertical support members disposed along inner walls of an exclusive area in a building to support a dead load of a building above a floor that the metal vertical support members are disposed when a structure framework is damaged by an earthquake; and   a shape holding member that connects between the plurality of metal vertical support members to hold a layout form of the metal vertical support members.   
     
     
         8 . The earthquake-resistant structure according to  claim 7 , wherein the metal vertical support member comprises a metal book shelf, a metal goods rack or a metal partition. 
     
     
         9 . The earthquake-resistant structure according to  claim 7 , further comprising a frame structure disposed in the exclusive area of the building and arranged in a space lattice form to form storage space. 
     
     
         10 . The earthquake-resistant structure according to  claim 7 , wherein the shape holding member includes a joint member to joint the plurality of metal vertical support members. 
     
     
         11 . The earthquake-resistant structure according to  claim 7 , wherein the shape holding member includes bracing members set to traverse a layout form of the plurality of metal vertical support members disposed as to enclose indoor space of the building. 
     
     
         12 . The earthquake-resistant structure according to  claim 7 , wherein the shape holding member includes a corner reinforcing member to reinforce intersecting portions of the metal vertical support members arranged adjacent to each other. 
     
     
         13 . An earthquake-resistant construction method comprising the steps of:
 removing partitions of an exclusive area in a building;   disposing metal vertical support members that support a dead load of a building above a floor that the metal vertical support members are disposed when a structure framework is damaged by an earthquake in the exclusive area of the building to partition the exclusive area into rooms; and   attaching a shape holding member that connects the plurality of metal vertical support members to hold a layout form of the metal vertical support members.   
     
     
         14 . An earthquake-resistant construction method comprising the steps of:
 disposing metal vertical support members that support a dead load of a building above a floor that the metal vertical support members are disposed when a structure framework is damaged by an earthquake along partitions of the building; and   attaching a shape holding member that connects the plurality of metal vertical support members to hold a layout form of the metal vertical support members.
