Two-by-Four Construction System for Earthquake Preparation

Abstract:

The 2 × 4 construction system arose in North America and is supplied throughout the world; however, there has been no clear identification of its application under various conditions in different regions. This paper identifies localized 2 × 4 construction systems by comparing the changes in its practice in six countries and the countermeasures taken against earthquakes, which are a major influence on local environmental conditions. The foundation, floor, wall, and joints built using the 2 × 4 construction system of each region were compared and analyzed with regard to their countermeasures against earthquakes, and the results were summarized to propose a 2×4 construction system to counteract earthquakes.
