The Shear Resistance of Wall Panel Made of Wooden Frame Covered by Orthogonal Oblique Placement Bamboo Strips

A kind of hybrid panel, which is made of wooden frame covered by orthogonal oblique placement bamboo strips on one side, was tested. In order to explore the response of the panel under vertical and horizontal load, it was destroyed by the pseudo-static action to measure the ultimate horizontal bearing capacity and deformation capacity. Furthermore, the hybrid panel was destroyed by the low cyclic loading to study its seismic bearing capacity, deformation capacity, failure process, hysteretic curve and skeleton curve feature. The results showed that the bearing capacity, stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the hybrid panel were much better than the light wood frame construction because of the hybrid effects between bamboo strips and wooden frame. It was feasible to build low-rise buildings by using hybrid panel as load bearing walls in the 8 degree seismic fortification regions.
