Soseki-kiso | Japanese Traditional Stone Foundation

- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Want to learn one of the primary factors behind why many Japanese wood shrines and temples have remained standing for over 1,000 years? The secret lies in their traditional stone foundations that allow the base of these amazing structures to flex and move up and down almost like the suspension of a car.

Check out this 3-year earthquake study conducted in Japan on houses with "Soseki-kiso" traditional stone foundations. You will be amazed by the results!
• 3-YEAR EARTHQUAKE TEST...
Great video. Thanks.
Thank you. I have been debating between slab and piles for my new build in Nee Zealand. This helps a lot.
I came here from Mr Chickadee's.
Fascinating, yet my builder/carpenter friends still don't believe it can work.
You should show your friends of earthquake tests using chinese (forbidden palace design) and traditional japanese house surviving the simulated quakes. All their beams just set on stone. There are videos on UA-cam. Since wood is light and because it uses joinery the structure just moves with the quake. In any other building the rigidity would cause the structure to break upon itself.

Thanks for checking out our video! Please ask your builder friend to check out our video titled: 3-YEAR EARTHQUAKE TEST on TRADITIONAL STYLE JAPANESE HOMES
There is still the issue of lateral loading from wind. Something that can resist an earthquake might not resist an 80mph wind in the great plains...
@@AeonCatalyst There are houses designed with typhoon in mind but really this all depends on where you live because maybe they're blessed to experience none of these phenomenon but for you you're describing an event that is most likely unique to your situation thus buildes in your area should develop such a structure based on that. Here century old houses made of timber survived a strong typhoon just year ago in my country while the rest of cement ones were flattened. If not the timber frame or foundation most had to do with its architectural style at the time.
Love this video. Thanks so much for the information.
4:36 the rocks beneath the large stones kind of act like ballast stones as we see in railways me thinks
that's crazy that the house is just sitting there by gravity alone, and that you could literally lift the thing with a bunch of cranes and set it down somewhere else in one piece (theoretically)
Grazie per questo bellissimo video e complimenti 👍👏
The foundation would be unlikely to work in the location where I live, with 10-20 meters of river clay before you get to sand - the stones would just sink.
Saludos muy buen video felicitaciones. Talves hay algún manual donde se pueda encontrar las especificaciones de esta metodología tanto en diseño como construcción?? Si lo podrían facilitar fuera excelente. Saludos cordiales.
How do they match the wood stake's bottom with the stone top? Is it extremely hard?
I heard that ancient Mayan stone walls tight fitting is a lost art that no one knows how to build it anymore? How about this Japanese skill of aligning the wood and the stone?
Very informative! I knew the resourcefulness of traditional Japanese architecture was impressive but never realized the ingenuity around its intent to withstand earthquakes from a physics point of view! Traditional Japanese architecture just got a whole lot cooler! Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you! Be sure to check out our other videos & our new website coming later this summer!
