The objective of this study is to grasp the required tensile performance at column-to-lintel connections of the wooden frame with a hanging mud wall in case of a hanging wall with initial failure in shear. In the full-scale tests, hanging mud wall specimens were collapsed with initial failure in pull-out of a lintel. A static pushover analysis was conducted to simulate the relationship between lateral load and deformation angle and the tensile displacement at column-to-lintel connections. In addition, the mechanical model to estimate the initial failure of wooden frame with a hanging mud wall is constructed.
