A new type of moment resisting timber joint has been developed. The joint is made up of steel plates, bolts and steel cotters. The plates and the bolts are embedded with timber element of frame structure. By combining those elements with steel cotters, moment resisting joints can be constructed easily. Static loading tests of the joint have been performed, and results of the tests made it clear that the joint have rotational rigidity and strength required from constructing moment resisting frame. And when we design the structure of wooden residence, we must use the shear elements. So, we simulate of shear-displacement curves of shear elements. In this paper, we show the results.
