The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of wall height on performance of shear walls. There are a lot of buildings with several heights of walls in wooden house in Japan. It is said that we have to consider influence for shear wall property with low height walls.
However, there seems to be no established theory in this problem.
Therefore we conducted static loading tests of several heights of SIP shear walls. It was found from the result that the strength of low height walls was not reduced. However, we should not overlook the fact that the stiffness of low height walls is higher than standard height walls.
