Abstract
This paper represents the results of the full-scale test on a two-story platform-framing house subjected to lateral load. In this test the racking distortion of walls was measured in order to evaluate the racking stiffness of the bearing wall. The dynamic response characteristics of this house, measured and analysed by Mr.Mitsuo Nakahara, Mr.Tatsuo Murota and others, are introduced in the appendix of this paper.
