Abstract

Authors have proposed the plywood panel - steel composite member. The composite member is consisted that the steel member is sandwiched with two sheets of plywood. The vertical loading test has conducted as the pilot test study, and the composite effects against to lateral buckling have been observed experimentally. The next, the seismic resistant mechanism and performance of this composite system are investigated. However, the fundamental studies for plywood subjected to lateral loads have not been reported. So in this paper, it aims to clarify the resistant mechanism and performance of thick plywood subjected to lateral load.
