In this research, the authors carried out the in-plane shear tests for five types of the inserted wooden siding wall different in wall length, board width and board direction each other, and the effects of the differences in load deformation characteristics, deformation and destructive behaviors of the wall elements were revealed. In addition, this study proposed the calculation method for rigidity and ultimate strength of the inserted wooden siding walls depending on the mechanical model created by taking the differences into account. Comparing the estimation values with the test values of rigidity and ultimate strength in both of the whole wall and the elements, the validity of the calculation method were verified.
