STUDY ON SHEAR PROPERTIES OF NAILED WOODEN BEARING WALLS WITH FIBER REINFORCED CEMENT SIDING BOARDS

Abstract

Fiber reinforced cement siding boards are necessary for buildings in respect of fireproof, waterproof and windproof. The shearing performance of the bearing walls with fiber reinforced cement siding boards is evaluated to the safety side. In our bearing wall test, the initial stiffness and the maximum strength increased compared to those of the bearing wall without fiber reinforced cement siding boards, though the deformation performance decreased. In this paper, the behavior is examined by the relation between horizontal displacement and vertical displacement in the nailed joint test.
