Full-scale shaking table tests were carried out at E-Defense to evaluate the seismic performance of a traditional wooden residential structure. The specimen was a post-and-beam frame with a plan dimension of 5.91 × 11.82 m and height of 7.53m. A key feature of the specimen was the oversized beams and columns. The design seismic load resistance was provided entirely by mud plaster walls. The beam-to-column joints were achieved by an oak peg using no metal fasteners. Under BCJ-L2 shaking, the first story exhibited a story drift of 3.7%, and one of the corner columns cracked. At that stage, many of the mud-plaster walls had crumbled. The maximum recorded base shear coefficient was 0.5.
