To clarify the difference in the structural performance of the plate-type-connector, the box-type-connector, and the L-shaped-connector, the static shear loading tests of tensile brace shear walls were performed. From the tests, it was found that the plate-type-connector provides high lateral stiffness, while the structural performance of the L-shaped-connector was lower than the ones of the plate-type-connector and the box-type-connector. Regarding the relationship between the axial load of a brace and the diagonal displacement of a wood frame, the difference in initial stiffness was not detected in the specimens with 1P, 1.5P, and 2P of wall length.
