This paper aims for developing a high strength diaphragm using mating connection of plywood. We made an evaluation formula of the load bearing wall with mating connection and compared it with the result of the full-scale experiments. From the results, we calculated the actual efficiency of the mating connections. When calculating the evaluation formula with its actual efficiency, the calculated value and the experimental value became close values. Future challenge is to elucidate the mechanism of its efficiency.
