Bracing is one of popular shear walls for newly constructed and existing wooden houses in Japan. In our past study, it was clear that the shear performance without sheathing cover board is less than the design value of Building Standard Law. In this study, static loading tests for the bracing with sheathing cover board were conducted to evaluate the design value and shaking table tests for them were also conducted to confirm the design value. As the result of these tests, the design value of bracing with sheathing cover board is sufficient value of BSL.
