To expand the use of timber in steel structure buildings, it is essential to employ wooden members not only for slabs but also for wall components. The authors proposed using CLT as support members for seismic panel damper sys-tems integrated into steel structures.
The authors used a lag-screw-bolt (LSB) as a shear connector and hexagon head bolts to connect the steel members and CLT panels. Push out shear test and horizontal cyclic loading test were carried out in order to investigate hyste-resis behavior of shear panel with CLT as support members. From the test results, the shear panel exhibited stable behavior and large energy dissipation under the condition of yield shear strength of LSBs more than ultimate shear strength of shear panel.
