The vibrational investigation of the great Palsangjon, which was made of wood and consisted of the five story, was carried out in this paper. The first natural period. the second natural period, and the damping coefficient for this pagoda were measured.
And these values are compared with those of Japanese wooden pagoda.
Based upon this field experiment, the following results were drawn :
(1) The first natural period were 0.78 sec. and the second natural period were 0.34 sec.
(2) The damping coefficient for this pagoda were 0.4 percent.
(3) Though the wooden Palsangjon is different in the structural form from the wooden in Japan. the dynamic characteristics in the Korean wooden pagoda is similar to those of the Japanese wooden pagoda.
