In order to reduce out of plane deformation of dry wall by lateral force, connecting method of stud end to runner by screw is employed as one of the simple measures. Loading tests are conducted using real size stud-runner systems with/without stiffen measure at stud end. Stiffen effect is quantified through elastic curve equation comparing measured results of with/without stiffen model. Calculated results are obtained as rotational spring which connects deflection angle and fixed end moment at stud end. The stiffening effect is not remarkable large as roughly 10% reduction. If larger effect is required more heavy measures are needed.
