In this paper, tensile behavior of split wedge joint is examined. Tensile tests for split wedge joint are conducted. Fifty-four specimens are tested, and their parameters are dimension of post, beam, tenon, notch line and wedge and tree species of members. The tensile properties are shown from the experimental results. In addition, evaluation rule for tensile behavior of split wedge joint considering initial bearing stress by wedge is proposed. It is based on the result of embedment test of wooden materials.
