Abstract
In order to investigate the lateral shear performance of newly developed wooden grid shear wall, full-scale static test by repeated shear loading was carried out. The beam and column members were made of Japanese cedar and the wall was partly reinforced by plywood. As a result, the wall didn’t reach ultimate strength even at 1/7.9(rad) of deformation angle, and it was confirmed that the wall had a high ductility capacity which was derived from plastic rotational embedment resistance of joint parts.
The simple evaluation method of the wall was suggested. It was confirmed that the method was appropriate, comparing with the result of the experiment.
