Abstract: | The fundamental in-plane shear properties were investigated for the wood-based sandwich panel of plywood-overlaid low-density
fiberboard (SW) manufactured at a pilot scale to develop it as a shear wall. The shear test method using tie-rods standardized
for shear walls was applied to SW with dimensions of 260 mm square and 96 mm thick as a small shear wall and to plywood (PW)
and thick low-density fiberboard (FB). The shear modulus and shear strength of PW, FB, and SW were determined. To measure
the shear deformation angle, a displacement meter and strain-gauge were used. The shear moduli of PW (0.68 g/cm3) and FB (0.25–0.35 g/cm3) were 460 and 21–58 MPa/rad, respectively. The shear modulus of SW as a composite was analyzed. Some experimental models
of SW were proposed (i.e., rigid-α, rigid-β, flexible, and semirigid models). The shear modulus of SW (0.35–0.40 g/cm3) evaluated based on the rigid-α and semirigid models were 73–89 and 109–125 MPa/rad, respectively. The theoretical shear modulus of SW was calculated to
be 110–129 MPa/rad.
