A number of Japanese cedar, which ought to be used to buildings or other structures, would increase rapidly in a few years in Japan. However the stiffness and strength of the Japanese cedar’s timbers are much less than other timbers in North-America or Europe. In this paper, the construction approach to improve the weakness of the beam’s bending behavior are presented. Four 1/2-scale simply-supported beams, were tested to clarify the bending behavior and the measure to predict them. The construction approach means to use steel-reinforced lamellas made of the Japanese cedar’s timber, in tension zone and compression zone.
