The purpose of these studies, including this paper, is to propose the shear design method for the panel-zone at the beam-to-column connections of timber frame. In this paper, experiments were conducted on beam-to-column connections with lag-screw bolts to determine the validity of the theory proposed in the Part 1 and the actual shear strength of the panel-zone. The results showed that the shear strength was 3.0〜4.5N/mm2. The same results are obtained in the antisymmetric four-point-bending type shear tests. Based on the previous results, a wire frame model was proposed for use in design. This model agrees well with experimental results.
