Bearing performance of cedar board panel fixed by steel joint wooden flam : horizonatal loading test of wooden bearing wall of double board panel

Wall magnification of wooden shear wall constituted wood siding board is 0.6 times, and it is difficult to build house as a bearing wall. This research that is based on the previous experiment result, come out bearing force by differ from board width, come out advantage of through-bolt that get ready rarely large earthquake. Horizontal loading test has conducted with three test specimen which use through-bolt and differ from board width. As a result, initial stiffness of test specimen with high board has indicated high value, and wall magnification also has indicated twice or more value compared with the notification,
