DEVELOPMENT OF NON-GLUED MASSIVE HOLZ SHEAR WALL AND PROPOSAL OF CALCULATION METHOD OF ALLOWABLE STRENGTH

Abstract

The new two type Massive Holz shear walls which doesn’t glued and can only be constructed with electric tools used by carpenters.
In addition to the racking test results of the shear walls, a numerical analysis model of the walls with pillars stacked with nails or screws was considered, and a design formula to estimate the allowable strength by the performance of nail or screw joints was proposed.
And the new type shear walls showed that they can be used for real wooden construction.
