In this paper, numerical analysis of wooden frames with hanging walls made of mud plaster subjected to horizontal load is carried out and the analysis results are compared with their experimental tests. This analytical model consists of mud plaster wall elements, connection elements between wall and timbers, elastic wooden skeletons and elasto-plastic end springs for a wooden frame. Results are as follows: 1) The horizontal resistant force characteristics of wooden frames with hanging walls are strongly influenced by the column size and fastening condition between columns and wooden bases. 2) The total number of columns is in proportion to the horizontal resistant force of hanging walls. 3) The combination of a hanging wall and sidewalls has the maximum resistant force that is larger than the sum of their each resistance force.
