Abstract

Generally in Japanese style rooms, sheathed walls with uncovered post have spread instead of mud walls. The sheathing material is nailed and inserted in the frame with noggings. The formula to calculate the elastic strength, yield point, ultimate strength and the ductility of factor has been derived for sheathed wall, considering the elements of the shear resistance of the nail struck in the noggings and frame, and the diagonal compression resistance of the sheathing material as truss action. In order to verify the formula, the shear examinations of sheathed walls have been carried out where five kinds of different sheathing material have been used. It is clear that the formula is sufficiently accurate to predict the elastic and plastic behavior of sheathed walls with uncovered post for structural calculation.
