The principal conclusions are as follows: The allowable lateral resistance of the nailed timber-plywood-timber joints can roundly be estimated by neglecting the plywood panels if their densities are higher than those of the timber main-members and they are fastened effectively onto the timber main-members. The stiffness of the timber-plywood-timber joints is less than that of the control timber-timber joints, which is improved by increasing the number of nails used to fasten the plywood panels onto the timber main-members. The stiffness of the joints whose floor sheathings are glued onto the joists is equivalent to the control timber-timber joints. The timber-plywood-timber joints with appropriate specifications have greater energy capacity until the failure than that of the control timber-timber joints. This ensures their energy capacity, which is important in dynamic resistance, to be equivalent to the control timber-timber joints.Springer JapanJournal Articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/50078https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/50078/1/JWS58-4_315-321.pdf1435-0211Journal of Wood Science5843153212012-08enginfo:doi/10.1007/s10086-012-1250-1The final publication is available at www.springerlink.comauthor
