Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate seismic performance of a bearing wall system for apartment buildings. An 1/3 scale three-story specimen was constructed and tested under cyclic lateral loads. The specimen was consisted of pierced walls and coupling elements as well as floor slabs. The bearing wall system is considered to have a adequate deformation capacity up to 2.0% of roof drift ratio, and the experimental results showed the ductile load-deformation characteristics even though some walls were failed in shear Nonlinear analysis was peformed to compare the load-deformation curve obtained from the experimental program. The result of nonlinear analysis could be useful to predict the actual behavior characteristics of the bearing wall system subjected to lateral loads.
