This study aims to develop a new structural utilization of a stressed skin panel (SSP) with lattice-shaped webs which is used mainly in Europe for supporting the roof of large span timber buildings. Our proposal is to construct a bearing wall by stacking, horizontally and vertically, the blocks cut out from the SSP.
In this study, we conducted four kinds of tests on shear, compression, out-of-plane bending and joint-shearing for the blocks. In this paper, we describe the features and test results of this bearing wall and clarified the fundamental performance by adding discussion basing on numerical analysis.
