(12) As illustrated in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the box-shaped building unit 1 in an embodiment of the present invention is formed by arranging CLT panels 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, . . . on each surface of a rectangular parallelepiped (a ceiling surface, a bottom surface, and four side wall surfaces) and joining the adjacent CLT panels 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, . . . by using a joining member 2 described below.

(13) An orthogonal part of each surface of this rectangular parallelepiped (box-shaped building unit 1) has a structure wherein a surface of end of lumber or a surface of edge of lumber of one (second) CLT panel is made abut on an inner main surface of the other (first) CLT panel and joined thereto so that a surface of end of lumber or a surface of edge of lumber of the first CLT panel and an outer main surface of the second CLT panel are flush. Note that the surface of end of lumber of a CLT panel refers to the end surface in the longitudinal direction of the CLT panel, while the surface of edge of lumber of the CLT panel refers to the end surface in the lateral direction of the CLT panel.

(14) For example, at the orthogonal part of the CLT panel 10 on the ceiling surface of the box-shaped building unit 1 and the CLT panel 11 on a side wall surface, a surface of edge of lumber 11s of the CLT panel 11 is made abut on an inner main surface 10i of the CLT panel 10 and joined thereto by the joining member 2 so that a surface of edge of lumber 10s of the CLT panel 10 and an outer main surface 11o of the CLT panel 11 are flush. The same applies to the orthogonal part of the CLT panel 10 on the ceiling surface and the CLT panel 15 on a side wall surface, the orthogonal part of the CLT panel 13 on a side wall surface and the CLT panel 14 on a side wall surface, and the orthogonal part of a CLT panel 16 on a side wall surface and the CLT panel 17 on a side wall surface. Further, the same applies to the orthogonal part of the CLT panels on the rear side that are not visible in FIG. 1.

(15) At a joining part by the joining member 2, the surface of end of lumber or the surface of edge of lumber and the outer main surface of one (first) CLT panel are opened so that the outer main surface side is wider than the inner main surface side of the first CLT panel, and the surface of end of lumber or the surface of edge of lumber and at least the outer main surface of the other (second) CLT panel are opened so that the inner side of the second CLT panel is wider than the surface of end of lumber or surface of edge of lumber side of the second CLT panel.

(16) For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, an opening part 10n in which the surface of edge of lumber 10s and the inner main surface 10i and outer main surface 10o are opened is formed on the CLT panel 10, while an opening part 11n in which the surface of edge of lumber 11s and the inner main surface 11i and outer main surface 11o are opened is formed on the CLT panel 11 at the joining part of the CLT panel 10 and the CLT panel 11. The opening part 10n is formed so that it has an inverted isosceles trapezoid-shape wherein the top base is longer than the bottom base as viewed from the surface of edge of lumber 10s, in other words, so that the outer main surface 10o side is wider than the inner main surface 10i side of the CLT panel 10. The opening part 11n is symmetrical to the opening part 10n and is formed so that it has an isosceles trapezoid-shape wherein the top base is shorter than the bottom base as viewed from the outer main surface 11o, in other words, so that the inner side (the side away from the surface of edge of lumber 11s (lower side of FIG. 4)) is wider than the surface of edge of lumber 11s side of the CLT panel 11. The same applies to the joining parts at the orthogonal parts of other CLT panels.

(17) The joining member 2 is a butterfly joint-shaped joining member having a shape corresponding to the above-described opening parts 10n and 11n. As illustrated in FIG. 5 to FIG. 9, the joining member 2 consists of a first member 21 having a shape corresponding to the opening part 10n of the CLT panel 10 and a second member 22 having a shape corresponding to the opening part 11n of the CLT panel 11. The first member 21 and the second member 22 are coupled by a bolt 23 and a nut 24. Two bolts 23 are fixed on a plate 25.

(18) The first member 21 and the second member 22 are formed of CLTs. The first member 21 and the second member 22 have a shape corresponding to the opening parts 10n and 11n, respectively, provided that a leg part 21a of the isosceles trapezoid-shape of the first member 21 and a leg part 22a of the trapezoid-shape of the second member 22 are inclined so that force to tighten the CLT panels 10 and 11 is applied when the joining member 2 is inserted into the opening parts 10n and 11n from the outer side of the box-shaped building unit 1 (the surface of end of lumber or surface of edge of lumber of the first CLT panel and the outer main surface of the second CLT panel side), in other words, when the joining member is inserted from the surface of edge of lumber 10s of the CLT panel 10 and the outer main surface 11o of the CLT panel 11 side in the example of FIG. 4.

(19) Further, holes 21b and 22b through which the bolt 23 passes are formed on the first member 21 and the second member 22, respectively. A counterbore 21d is formed on a bottom part 21c of the isosceles trapezoid-shape of the first member 21 so that the nuts 24 and washers 26 do not protrude. A counterbore 22d is formed on a bottom part 22c of the isosceles trapezoid-shape of the second member 22 so that the plate 25 does not protrude. The joining member 2 is a member resulting from fitting the first member 21 and the second member 22 with the above-described configuration onto the bolts 23 on the plate 25 in such a manner that the bolts pass through those members, and coupling those members by tightening them with the nuts 24 via the washers 26.

(20) With the box-shaped building unit 1 having the above-described configuration, it is possible to readily join the adjacent CLT panels 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 . . . by arranging the CLT panels 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 . . . on each surface of a rectangular parallelepiped (a ceiling surface, a bottom surface, and four side wall surfaces), and inserting the butterfly joint-shaped joining member 2 into the opening parts 10n, 11n and the like that are outwardly opened.

(21) In particular, with this box-shaped building unit 1, it is possible to tighten the bolts 23/nuts 24 from the outer main surface 10o side of the CLT panel 10 to tighten the first member 21 and the second member 22 of the joining member 2 when the CLT panel 10 and the CLT panel 11 or the like are loosely tightened, thereby firmly tightening the CLT panel 10 and the CLT panel 11 or the like. Furthermore, it is also possible to form the first member 21 and the second member 22 of elastic members such as rubber, thereby causing the box-shaped building unit 1 to have a base isolation structure.

(22) Further, in the box-shaped building unit 1 in the present embodiment, an opening is similarly provided to the adjacent CLT panel 11 and CLT panels 12 and 13 on each surface of the rectangular parallelepiped, and those panels are joined by using a joining member 2. The same applies to joining of the CLT panel 15 and the CLT panels 14 and 16.

(23) In addition, it is also possible to configure a building by coupling a plurality of the above-described box-shaped building units 1 as illustrated in FIG. 10.
