To develop a new brace connector, static incremental analysis of a braced shear wall with a detailed analysis model was conducted. Several kinds of load-displacement relationships, that are necessary for the analysis model, were defined based on elemental tests, such as tensile tests and shear tests of the screws. The shear stiffness of the tensile brace shear wall from the analysis was higher than the one from a shear loading test, while the maximum shear strength from the analysis with the column and the brace of high density was near the one from the shear loading test.
