Abstract
This paper describes a new developed wooden sliding panel wall inserted in wooden frame. In-plane shear tests for two types of these panel walls were carried out compared with the typical plywood sheathed wall. The main results are as follows. The rigidity and strength of the new developed walls are about 20% and 50% of those of contemporary bearing walls under the horizontal deformation of 0.05 rad. Although, beyond this deformation, the rigidity and strength of new developed walls gradually improve and withstand large load.
