Abstract
In this paper, the relation between the wall-length ratio of Japanese wooden houses and the ultimate horizontal resistant force considering the stiffness of both floor and non-structural walls is discussed. The analytical Model has the restoring force characteristic composed of the floor, bracing bearing walls and non-structural plaster board walls. The results may be summarized as follows : The wall-length ratio considering both structural walls and non-structural walls is nearly equal to the wall-length ratio considering only structural walls. The lower limit of the ultimate horizontal resistant force is estimated using the wall-length ratio considering only structural walls.
