ABSTRACT: 3-D non-linear collapsing process analysis of two-story wooden housewas conducted against-
severalstrong earthquake ground motions with the seismic intensity of 6+ to 7 levelin order to investigate the
seismic behaviour of the wooden house retrofitted by ACM braces. A non-linear behaviour of timber elements
