Abstract
The shear strength of the panel of various sections of the columns are newly proposed and listed in Recommendations for Design of Connections in Steel Structures(2001) published by Architectural Institute of Japan(AIJ). However, the shear strength of the panel of weak-axis H-column is not listed in this Recommendation. In this paper subassemblages of several panel aspect ratios consisting of weak-axis H-column and strong-axis H-beam are tested by cyclic horizontal load under the several axial forces of the column. Elastic-plastic behaviors of the connection panels are reported.
