EVALUATION OF SHEAR STRENGTH OF TRADITIONAL WOODEN FRAME WITH HANGING AND WINDOW-BACK WALL

In the case of wooden frame with dry-mud panel

Abstract

Static shear loading tests on single full-height walls, hanging walls and window-back walls using dry-mud panels were conducted. And then, push-over analysis of combinations of the walls was performed, it was found that summation of shear forces of the single walls is higher than the shear force of combined analysis model except for the range of relatively large deformation. Consequently, to evaluate shear strength of traditional wooden building with dry-mud panel, summation of shear forces of the single walls was found to be adequate.
