A shear wall building construction method was newly developed for several story dwelling house. Prestressed concrete hollow core panel ('SPC in following) that has been usually used as nonstructural walls, is applied to shear wall in this method. SPC has no shear reinforcement, therefore it is the point in structural planning that members except SPC, such as anchorage bars, are set to yield before cracking of SPC. In this report, based on a shearing test of SPC shear wall structure, the limit stress of SPC is estimated to confirm that the maximum stress of SPC is less than the limit stress. As a result, it is recognized that buildings with SPC shear walls have enough anti-seismic efficiency, and that SPC is safe from cracking.
