[0011] The load-bearing panel according to the present invention can be used in any type of building, but is particularly suitable for use in residential buildings. Hereinafter, an embodiment of a load-bearing panel according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same components are designated by the same reference numerals.

[0012] 1 shows a schematic diagram of a building 1 equipped with a load-bearing panel 4 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The building 1 may be any type of building, but is preferably a residential building. The building 1 comprises a framework 2, a foundation 3, and a load-bearing panel 4.

[0013] The frame 2 includes a plurality of frame columns 21 extending in the vertical direction and a plurality of frame beams 22 extending in the horizontal direction. Each structural column 21 is composed of a base 211 which is the lower end of the structural column 21, and a portion 212 other than the base 211. The base 211 of each structural column 21 is joined to the foundation 3. The portion 212 other than the base 211 of the structural column 21 is preferably a square steel pipe, but may be other steel material. The cross section of the base 211 of the structural column 21 is preferably cross-shaped, but may be any shape. The structural beams 22 are preferably H-shaped steel beams, but may be other steel materials. The structure of the frame 2 is not limited to that shown in Fig. 1 and may be any structure. A suitable structure of the frame 2 will be described later.

[0014] The foundation 3 has column base foundations 31 that support the column bases 211 of the frame 2 , and foundation beams 32 that are bridged between the column base foundations 31 .

[0015] The load-bearing panels 4 have a resistance to horizontal forces. The load-bearing panels 4 have a function of supporting a horizontal load from the frame 2 when the frame 2 sways horizontally due to the occurrence of an earthquake, wind, or the like.

[0016] Fig. 2 shows an example of a load-bearing panel 4. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the load-bearing panel 4 has a pair of panel columns 41, a connecting member 42 that connects the pair of panel columns 41 to each other, and a joining mechanism 43.

[0017] Each panel column 41 extends vertically. Each panel column 41 has a column base portion 411, a column capital portion 412, and a column main body portion 413 between the column base portion 411 and the column capital portion 412. The column body 413 is preferably a square steel pipe, but may be made of any steel material. The column base 411 of each panel column 41 is pin-connected to the foundation beam 32 of the foundation 3 by one or more (e.g., four) anchor bolts. The column base 411 preferably has a cross-shaped cross section, but may have any shape.

[0018] Fig. 3 shows an enlarged view of a portion of the connecting material 42 in Fig. 2. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the connecting material 42 has a steel damper 42a, a pair of long side members 42b, four oblique side members 42c, a pair of horizontal members 42e, and a pair of connecting pieces 42f. The steel damper 42a is made of, for example, extremely low yield point steel. The pair of long side members 42b extend vertically and are attached to the column main body portions 413 of the pair of panel columns 41. On both sides of the width center of the load-bearing panel 4, the long side member 42b and the connecting piece 42f are connected by a pair of upper and lower oblique side members 42c and a horizontal member 42e. In a plan view of the load-bearing panel 4 (FIGS. 2 and 3), when the long side member 42b is viewed as the base of an isosceles triangle, the pair of upper and lower oblique side members 42c extend at an angle to the horizontal and vertical directions so as to form a pair of hypotenuses of the isosceles triangle, and the horizontal member 42e extends in the horizontal direction so as to form a perpendicular line dropped from the apex of the isosceles triangle. The steel damper 42a is joined to a pair of connecting pieces 42f. This allows the steel damper 42a to be plastically deformed in the shear direction when an earthquake occurs. The steel damper 42a is joined to the pair of connecting pieces 42f with bolts. This allows the steel damper 42a to be easily replaced when replacement becomes necessary due to an earthquake or the like. However, the connecting material 42 may have a configuration different from that shown in FIGS. In the example of FIG. 2, the load-bearing panel 4 has two connecting members 42, one above the other, but the load-bearing panel 4 may have only one connecting member 42, or three or more connecting members 42.

[0019] FIG. 4 shows an enlarged view of the joint mechanism 43 and its surroundings in FIG. 2. FIG. 5 shows the joint mechanism 43 in FIG. 4 alone, as viewed from above. As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the joint mechanism 43 joins each panel column 41 of the load-bearing panel 4 to the frame beam 22 of the frame 2. Specifically, the joint mechanism 43 joins each panel column 41 of the load-bearing panel 4 to the frame beam 22 of the rigid frame 2 with vertical rollers. The vertical roller joint refers to a joint structure that does not substantially transmit a vertical force but transmits a horizontal force. In other words, the joint mechanism 43 is configured so as not to substantially transmit a vertical force between each panel column 41 and the frame beam 22. As a result, during an earthquake or the like, only a vertical force of a magnitude that does not cause the anchor bolts to come loose, the foundation beams 32 to break, or the frame beams 22 to break in shear (all of which are brittle fractures that undermine the advantage of the rigid frame frame, namely, the high deformation capacity) acts between each panel column 41 and the frame beam 22. Specifically, the joint mechanism 43 is configured to enable each panel column 41 and the frame beam 22 to move relatively in the vertical direction.

[0020] More specifically, in this example, the joining mechanism 43 has a plate-shaped member 431 and an attachment portion 434 .

[0021] The plate-like member 431 is connected to a pair of panel columns 41. The plate-like member 431 is configured to be deformable in the vertical direction. The joining mechanism 43 has the plate-like member 431 configured to be deformable in the vertical direction, and thereby vertically roller-joins each panel column 41 and the frame beam 22. In addition, the joining mechanism 43 of this example has the plate-like member 431 configured to be deformable in the vertical direction, and is configured to allow each panel column 41 and the frame beam 22 to move relatively in the vertical direction. As a result, the joining mechanism 43 is configured not to substantially transmit a vertical force between each panel column 41 and the frame beam 22. The plate-like member 431 is made of, for example, a plate spring. As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the thickness direction of the plate-like member 431 is oriented in the vertical direction, the longitudinal direction of the plate-like member 431 is oriented in the width direction of the load-bearing panel 4 (left and right direction in Fig. 4), and the short side direction of the plate-like member 431 (direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and thickness direction of the plate-like member 431) is oriented in the out-of-plane direction of the load-bearing panel 4 (depth direction of the paper in Fig. 4). Here, the width direction of the load-bearing panel 4 (hereinafter also simply referred to as the "width direction") is the direction in which the pair of panel columns 41 of the load-bearing panel 4 face each other. The out-of-plane direction of the load-bearing panel 4 (hereinafter also simply referred to as the "out-of-plane direction") is the direction perpendicular to an imaginary plane including the pair of panel columns 41 of the load-bearing panel 4, and is also the horizontal direction perpendicular to the width direction of the load-bearing panel 4. In this example, the plate-like member 431 is connected to the upper end of the column head 412 of a pair of panel columns 41. Specifically, the column head 412 of the panel column 41 has a main body 412a, a lower horizontal plate 412b joined to the lower end of the main body 412a by welding or the like, and an upper horizontal plate 412c joined to the upper end of the main body 412a by welding or the like. The lower horizontal plate 412b is joined to the upper end of the column main body 413 of the panel column 41 by welding or the like. The upper horizontal plate 412c of the column head 412 of each panel column 41 and the plate-like member 431 are bolted to each other by fasteners Ba including bolts and nuts through through holes 412h, 431h provided in each of the panel columns 41. However, the plate-like member 431 may be connected to the upper end of the column head 412 of the pair of panel columns 41 by a method different from that of this example. It is preferable that the cross section of the column capital portion 412 (specifically, the main body portion 412a) of the panel column 41 is cross-shaped. As shown in FIG. 5, in this example, the plate-shaped member 431 has a rectangular shape when seen in a plan view of the plate-shaped member 431, but the plate-shaped member 431 may have any shape when seen in a plan view of the plate-shaped member 431.

[0022] The mounting portion 434 connects the plate-like member 431 and the frame beam 22. In this example, the mounting portion 434 has a horizontal plate 432 and a connection portion 433. In this example, the frame beam 22 is made of an H-shaped steel having a pair of upper and lower flange portions 22a. The horizontal plate 432 extends in the horizontal direction. The horizontal plate 432 is connected to the frame beam 22, specifically, to the flange portion 22a of the frame beam 22. Specifically, the horizontal plate 432 and the flange portion 22a of the frame beam 22 are bolted together by fasteners Bb including bolts and nuts via through holes 432h, 22h provided in the horizontal plate 432 and the flange portion 22a of the frame beam 22, respectively. However, the horizontal plate 432 may be connected to the frame beam 22 by a method different from that of this example. The connection portion 433 extends in the vertical direction and connects the plate-like member 431 and the horizontal plate 432. In this example, the connection portion 433 is joined to the plate-like member 431 and the horizontal plate 432 by welding. The mounting portion 434 may have a configuration different from that of this example as long as it connects the plate-like member 431 and the frame beam 22. The frame beam 22 may be made of a steel material other than an H-shaped steel.

[0023] In this embodiment, as described above, the joining mechanism 43 has the plate-like member 431 configured to be deformable in the vertical direction, and thus each panel column 41 and the frame beam 22 are joined by vertical rollers, and a vertical force is not substantially transmitted between each panel column 41 and the frame beam 22. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 6, when the frame 2 shakes due to an earthquake, wind, or the like, the plate-like member 431 of the joining mechanism 43 absorbs deformation such as bending fracture of the frame beam 22, thereby suppressing the generation of large forces in the pair of panel columns 41 of the load-bearing panel 4, the anchor bolts joining the pair of panel columns 41 and the foundation beam 32, and the foundation beam 32. Therefore, the pull-out of the anchor bolts and the destruction of the foundation beam 32 can be suppressed, and the burden on the foundation 3 can be reduced. If the joint mechanism 43 is configured to transmit substantially vertical force between each panel column 41 and the frame beam 22, the frame beam 22 is restrained at the position of a pair of panel columns 41, and there is a high possibility that shear failure will occur in the frame beam 22. In general, shear failure has a lower deformation capacity than bending failure. In addition, at this time, a large couple (a force symmetrical above and below) is generated in the foundation beam 32, which makes it easier for the anchor bolts to be pulled out and for the foundation beam 32 to be destroyed. Therefore, the load on the foundation 3 becomes large. Furthermore, in a joint mechanism using a long hole as in Patent Document 1 described above, slippage occurs in the horizontal direction by the clearance between the bolt and the outer edge of the long hole, and there is a risk that the load-bearing panel will not be able to exert its strength against minor horizontal deformation. On the other hand, according to this embodiment, the plate-like member 431 does not slip in the horizontal direction, so the load-bearing panel 4 can effectively exert its strength against minor horizontal deformation. As a result, the load-bearing panel 4 can effectively exert its strength against traffic vibrations, wind vibrations, and the like.

[0024] 7 to 10 are drawings for explaining a first modified example of the load-bearing panel 4. The load-bearing panel 4 of this example differs from the example of Figures 2 and 4 described above in that it further includes a stiffening member 44. The configuration of the joining mechanism 43 of this example is similar to the example of Figures 2 and 4 described above. The stiffening material 44 is provided between the pair of panel columns 41. The stiffening material 44 is configured to maintain the distance between the pair of panel columns 41 when a horizontal force is applied to the load-bearing panel 4.

[0025] In this example, the stiffener 44 is joined to both longitudinal ends of the plate-like member 431. More specifically, the stiffener 44 has a pair of stiffener main body members 4411, 4412 and a pair of spacers 442.

[0026] As shown in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, each stiffening main body member 4411, 4412 has a pair of vertical plate portions 441a extending in the vertical direction, and a horizontal plate portion 441b extending in the horizontal direction and connecting the pair of vertical plate portions 441a. In this example, each stiffening main body member 4411, 4412 is made of a channel steel, but may be made of any steel material. Each stiffening main body member 4411, 4412 extends in the width direction of the load-bearing panel 4. As shown in Fig. 9, the pair of stiffening main body members 4411, 4412 are arranged along the vertical direction, and the horizontal plate portions 441b of the pair of stiffening main body members 4411, 4412 abut against each other. Of the pair of stiffening body members 4411, 4412, the first stiffening body member 4411 located at the upper side is open at the top, and of the pair of stiffening body members 4411, 4412, the second stiffening body member 4412 located at the lower side is open at the bottom.

[0027] As shown in Figs. 7 and 8, a pair of spacers 442 are disposed on both ends in the extending direction of the horizontal plate portion 441b of the first stiffening main body member 4411. The plate-like member 431 of the joining mechanism 43 is disposed on the pair of spacers 442. The spacers 442 allow the plate-like member 431 and the horizontal plate portion 441b of the first stiffening main body member 4411 to face each other and be spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 8, the horizontal plate portion 441b of each stiffening main body member 4411, 4412, each spacer 442, and the plate-shaped member 431 respectively have through holes 441h, 442h, 431h', and are bolted together via these through holes 441h, 442h, 431h' using fasteners Bc including bolts and nuts. In this way, both ends in the longitudinal direction of the plate-like member 431 and both ends in the extending direction of the horizontal plate portion 441b of the first stiffening main body member 4411 are joined to each other via the spacers 442. As a result, a space is secured for the plate-like member 431 to deform downward by the thickness of the spacers 442 on the inner side in the longitudinal direction of the plate-like member 431 from the pair of spacers 442. As a result, the stiffening material 44 is prevented from hindering the vertical deformation of the plate-like member 431, and thus the joining mechanism 43 is prevented from substantially preventing the transmission of vertical force between each panel column 41 and the frame beam 22.

[0028] The length of the stiffening material 44 in the extension direction is set to be approximately the same as the distance between the pair of panel columns 41 (specifically, the widthwise distance between the widthwise inner ends of the pair of panel columns 41). In addition, the stiffening material 44 is located at the same height as a part (the upper end portion in this example) of the pair of panel columns 41. As a result, even if the pair of panel columns 41 try to approach each other when a horizontal force is applied to the load-bearing panel 4, the panel columns 41 come into contact with the stiffening material 44, thereby preventing the gap between the pair of panel columns 41 from narrowing, and ultimately making it possible to maintain the gap between the pair of panel columns 41.

[0029] Here, the advantages of the stiffener 44 will be described with reference to FIG. If the load-bearing panel 4 does not have a stiffening member 44 as in the example of Figure 4 above, when a horizontal force (particularly a horizontal force in the in-plane direction of the load-bearing panel 4) is applied to the load-bearing panel 4 in the event of an earthquake or the like, as shown in Figure 11(a), the distance between a pair of panel columns 41 will narrow, and the plate-like member 431 may undergo compressive buckling in the in-plane direction of the load-bearing panel 4. As a result, the connecting member 42 may also undergo compressive buckling, and the horizontal load-bearing force may not be exerted very effectively. On the other hand, when the load-bearing panel 4 has a stiffening member 44 as in this example shown in Figure 7, when a horizontal force (particularly a horizontal force in the in-plane direction of the load-bearing panel 4) is applied to the load-bearing panel 4 during an earthquake or the like, the stiffening member 44 can maintain the distance between a pair of panel columns 41, as shown in Figure 11(b), so that compressive buckling of the connecting member 42 can be suppressed and the horizontal load-bearing force can be more effectively exerted. In this specification, the in-plane direction of the load-bearing panel 4 is a direction parallel to an imaginary plane including the pair of panel columns 41 of the load-bearing panel 4.

[0030] In addition, since the stiffening material 44 in this example has a second stiffening main body member 4412 in addition to the first stiffening main body member 4411, it has a higher rigidity and can more reliably maintain the distance between a pair of panel columns 41. However, the stiffener 44 does not have to have the second stiffener body member 4412.

[0031] 9, in this example, the stiffening material 44 has a pair of vertical wall portions 443 that are disposed on both sides of the plate-shaped member 431 in the short-side direction and are configured to restrict deformation of the plate-shaped member 431 in the short-side direction. In this example, the pair of vertical wall portions 443 are formed by a pair of vertical plate portions 441a of the first stiffening main body member 4411. Here, the advantages of the pair of vertical wall portions 443 of the stiffener 44 will be described with reference to Fig. 12. The left diagram of Fig. 12(a) shows a schematic cross section taken along line AA in Fig. 4. The left diagram of Fig. 12(b) shows a schematic cross section taken along line CC in Fig. 7. 4, if the load-bearing panel 4 does not have the stiffening member 44 or if the stiffening member 44 does not have a pair of vertical wall portions 443, when the building 1 shakes in the out-of-plane direction of the load-bearing panel 4 in the event of an earthquake or the like, the plate-like member 341 deforms in the short side direction (out-of-plane direction), and the panel column 41 and the frame beam 22 are relatively displaced in the out-of-plane direction, as shown in Fig. 12(a). As a result, the interior / exterior material (interior material and / or exterior material) M joined to the frame beam 22 is dragged by the frame beam 22 and displaced in the out-of-plane direction, and collides with the panel column 41, which may cause damage to the interior / exterior material M. On the other hand, in the case where the stiffening member 44 has a pair of vertical wall portions 443 as in this example shown in Figures 7 and 9, when the building 1 shakes in the out-of-plane direction of the load-bearing panel 4 in the event of an earthquake or the like, as shown in Figure 12(b), when the frame beam 22 and the plate-like member 431 are displaced in the out-of-plane direction, the plate-like member 431 hits the vertical wall portion 443, and as a result, the panel column 41 deforms so as to tilt in the out-of-plane direction together with the plate-like member 431. As a result, the panel column 41 and the interior / exterior material M tilt in the out-of-plane direction at approximately the same angle, so that damage to the interior / exterior material M can be suppressed.

[0032] FIG. 13 is a drawing for explaining a second modified example of the load-bearing panel 4. As shown in FIG. 13, the joint mechanism 43 may be configured to join each panel column 41 of the load-bearing panel 4 to the foundation beam 32 so as not to transmit a vertical force between each panel column 41 and the foundation beam 32. That is, the joint mechanism 43 may join each panel column 41 of the load-bearing panel 4 to the foundation beam 32 by vertical rollers. The joint mechanism 43 may also be configured to relatively move each panel column 41 of the load-bearing panel 4 to the foundation beam 32 in the vertical direction. This allows only a vertical force of a magnitude that does not cause the anchor bolts to come out, the foundation beam 32 to break, or the frame beam 22 to break in shear (both of which are brittle breaks that impair the advantage of the high deformation capacity of the rigid frame frame) to act between each panel column 41 and the foundation beam 32 during an earthquake or the like. Although detailed illustration is omitted, in this case, the plate-like member 431 is connected to the lower ends of the column base portions 411 of a pair of panel columns 41, and the mounting portions 434 connect the plate-like member 431 and the foundation beam 32. In this case, the column capital portion 412 of each panel column 41 is pin-connected to the frame beam 22 by one or more (for example, four) fasteners. It is preferable that the cross section of the column capital portion 412 is cruciform.

[0033] In the example of Fig. 13, the load-bearing panel 4 may also have a stiffening material 44 as in the examples of Figs. 7 to 10. In this case, it is preferable that the stiffening material 44 has a configuration obtained by inverting the configuration described above with reference to Figs. 7 to 10. That is, the first stiffening main body member 4411 is arranged so that the lower side is open, and the second stiffening main body member 4412 is located above the first stiffening main body member 4411 and is arranged so that the upper side is open. The pair of spacers 442 are arranged below both ends of the horizontal plate portion 441b of the first stiffening main body member 4411 in the extension direction, and the plate-like member 431 of the joining mechanism 43 is arranged below the pair of spacers 442.

[0034] In each of the examples described herein, the stiffener 44 does not have to have a pair of vertical walls 443.

[0035] 7, the stiffener 44 is not joined to the pair of panel columns 41, but is joined to the plate-like member 431 as described above. However, in each example described in this specification, both ends of the stiffener 44 in the extension direction may be joined to the pair of panel columns 41 without being joined to the plate-like member 431. Even in this case, the stiffener 44 can maintain the distance between the pair of panel columns 41 when a horizontal force (particularly a horizontal force in the in-plane direction of the load-bearing panel 4) is applied to the load-bearing panel 4. Even in this case, it is preferable that the stiffener 44 has a pair of vertical wall portions 443.

[0036] Hereinafter, the configuration of the frame 2 suitable for use in combination with the above-mentioned load-bearing panel 4 will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows an example of the frame 2 suitable for use in combination with the load-bearing panel 4.

[0037] In the example of FIG. 1, the frame 2 is a rigid-frame frame. Specifically, the frame columns 21 and the frame beams 22 are rigidly connected. In this specification, the term "rigid connection" also includes semi-rigid connection. In a typical rigid frame structure, the base of the frame column on the first floor is rigidly connected to the foundation, but the frame 2 of this example differs from a typical rigid frame structure in that the base 211 of the frame column 21 on the first floor of the frame 2 is rotatable, that is, it is pin-connected to the foundation 3. This allows the building 1 having this frame 2 to have a simpler structure for the foundation 3, compared to a building equipped with a typical rigid frame structure. Here, with respect to the column base 211, "rotatable" means that the inflection point height ratio of the column base 211 is 0.3 or less.

[0038] It is preferable that the load-bearing panels 4 are provided only on the first floor, and not on the second floor or higher. On the second floor or higher of the frame 2 of this example, the frame columns 21 and the frame beams 22 are rigidly joined, as in a general rigid frame frame, so that the frame 2 has sufficient load-bearing strength against horizontal forces even without the load-bearing panels 4. On the other hand, on the first floor of the frame 2, unlike a general rigid frame frame, the column bases 211 of the frame columns 21 are rotatable, so that the frame 2 alone may not have sufficient load-bearing strength against horizontal forces, and therefore it is preferable to supplement the load-bearing strength against horizontal forces with the load-bearing panels 4.

[0039] It is preferable that the cross-sectional area of ​​the portion 212 of the frame column 21 of the frame 2 other than the column base portion 211 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the panel column 41 (specifically, the column main body portion 413) of the load-bearing panel 4. By increasing the cross-sectional area of ​​the portion 212 of the frame column 21 other than the column base portion 211 in this way, it is possible to increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the frame beam 22, and thus it is possible to suppress the deflection of the frame beam 22 when walking, earthquakes, wind, etc. occur. In addition, suppressing the deflection of the frame beam is generally required in the "Explanation of Technical Standards Related to the Structure of Buildings" and the like. Here, the cross-sectional areas of the frame column 21, panel column 41, and frame beam 22 refer to the area (area of ​​the flesh part) along the cross-sectional shape in a cross section perpendicular to the extension direction of each of the frame column 21, panel column 41, and frame beam 22, and are intended to exclude the area of ​​the hollow part in the cross section. From a similar viewpoint, it is preferable that the area second moment of the portion 212 other than the column base 211 of the frame column 21 of the frame 2 be larger than the area second moment of the panel column 41 of the load-bearing panel 4. From the same viewpoint, it is preferable that the plastic section modulus of the portion 212 other than the column base portion 211 of the frame column 21 of the frame 2 be greater than the plastic section modulus of the panel column 41 of the load-bearing panel 4 .

[0040] From the viewpoint of configuring the building 1 to have a total collapse type, it is preferable that the cross-sectional area of ​​the frame beam 22 is equal to or less than the cross-sectional area of ​​the portion 212 of the frame column 21 other than the column base 211. From the viewpoint of suppressing deflection of the frame beam 22 in the event of an earthquake, wind, or the like, it is more preferable that the cross-sectional area of ​​the frame beam 22 is equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the portion 212 of the frame column 21 other than the column base 211. From the viewpoint of suppressing deflection of the frame beam 22 in the event of an earthquake, wind, or the like, it is more preferable that the cross-sectional area of ​​the frame beam 22 is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the panel column 41 of the load-bearing panel 4. From the same viewpoint, it is preferable that the geometrical moment of area of ​​the frame beam 22 is equal to or less than the geometrical moment of area of ​​the portion 212 of the frame column 21 other than the column base 211, and it is more preferable that the geometrical moment of area is equal to the geometrical moment of area of ​​the portion 212 of the frame column 21 other than the column base 211. Also, from the viewpoint of suppressing deflection of the frame beam 22 in the event of an earthquake, wind, or the like, it is preferable that the geometrical moment of area of ​​the frame beam 22 is greater than the geometrical moment of area of ​​the panel column 41 of the load-bearing panel 4. From the same viewpoint, it is preferable that the plastic section modulus of the frame beam 22 is equal to or less than the plastic section modulus of the portion 212 of the frame column 21 other than the column base 211, and it is more preferable that the plastic section modulus is equal to the plastic section modulus of the portion 212 of the frame column 21 other than the column base 211. Also, from the viewpoint of suppressing deflection of the frame beam 22 in the event of an earthquake, wind, or the like, it is preferable that the plastic section modulus of the frame beam 22 is greater than the plastic section modulus of the panel column 41 of the load-bearing panel 4.

[0041] For example, it is preferable to make the portion 212 of the structural column 21 other than the column base 211 out of a 150mm square steel pipe, the structural beam 22 out of a 250mm H-shaped steel pipe, and the panel column 41 (specifically, the column main body portion 413) out of an 80mm square steel pipe.

[0042] As described above, the load-bearing panel 4 is configured so as not to substantially support the vertical load from the structural beam 22. However, as described above, the suppression of deflection of the structural beam 22 can be ensured by making the cross-sectional area of ​​the portion 212 of the structural column 21 of the structure 2 other than the column base portion 211 larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the panel column 41 of the load-bearing panel 4, and thus making it possible to also make the cross-sectional area of ​​the structural beam 22 larger.

[0043] In each example described in this specification, the frame 2 is not limited to being two stories high, but may have any number of stories. [Industrial Applicability]

[0044] The load-bearing panel according to the present invention can be used in any type of building, but is particularly suitable for use in residential buildings. [Explanation of symbols]
