The objective of this research is to realize a single-braced shear wall system, which has same performance when the diagonal brace is subjected to compression and tension. To improve performance in brace joint, a new LVL product made of alternately laminating rubber wood and falcate wood was introduced and wood screws which have high shear resistance were used for them. Then developed brace system was investigated to confirm its shear performance in both loading directions. Consequently, improved shear wall had 3.5 at compression and 3.8 at tension in the shear resistance factor.
