Currently there is no examination formula of shear force acting on the connections between joint members of sheets and columns used in the structural design of sheathed shear walls with multiple sheets. A formula is derived by applying the mechanical model of sheathed shear walls with various nailing arrangement patterns developed by the first author.
This formula is verified with experiments and numerical analyses.
The criteria necessary to examine the shear force acting on the connections depending on the nailing arrangement patterns is presented in this paper.
