Seismic performance of timber shear walls is generally confirmed through experiment which is provided in the standard. However, the strength and deformation capacities are clearly related to the loading protocol, and such a fatigue behavior is not well-understood so far. In this paper, plywood sheathing wall having 12mm thickness of plywood is tested, and the fatigue behaviors coming up on force-deformation relation and equivalent damping ratio are evaluated.
