A design procedure is proposed for estimating the required thickness of wood panels used to stiffen the slitted steel shear wall. Setting a value for the ratio of modified buckling strength, which is obtained by assuming the effect of stiffening as an increase in bending rigidity, relative to the yield strength, design formulas for thickness required for the stiffening panel is derived. The design formulas allow for the effect of the number of bolts and the overall dimension of the wall as well. These formulas are found reasonable by the comparison with the associated experimental and numerical results.
