This study aims to develop the seismic reinforcement method using sliding doors focused on the opening in an existing wooden house. The parameters of the full-scale lateral loading tests were chosen to examine the effect of the number and type of the seismic sliding door and the strength of hanging wall on the seismic performance of a wooden frame. The analytical model was proposed to estimate the relationships between the lateral load and deformation angle. The results of the full-scale test and analysis are presented and discussed.
