Abstract

The present invention is to provide a gypsum-based load-bearing board for wood structural load-bearing walls which is capable of increasing the co-efficient of effective wall length without additionally using reinforcement materials or stiffening materials, and without increasing the specific gravity and/or the thickness of the gypsum-based load-bearing board. The gypsum-based load-bearing board for wood structural load-bearing walls includes a main member or a core member formed from a board-shaped hardened gypsum containing an inorganic fiber and an organic-based strength enhancer that exert a lateral nail resistance of 500 N or more, and a paper covering at least front and back sides of the main member or the core member to constitute the load-bearing board.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A wooden load-bearing wall having a gypsum-based load-bearing board comprising:
a main member or a core member formed from a board-shaped hardened gypsum containing an inorganic fiber including glass fibers and an organic-based strength enhancer including starch that exert a lateral nail resistance of 500 N or more, the inorganic fiber being 0.3 to 5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of calcined gypsum, and the organic-based strength enhancer being 0.3 to 15 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of calcined gypsum, and a paper covering at least front and back sides of the main member or the core member, the main member and the paper or the core member and the paper constituting the load-bearing board, and a plate thickness of the gypsum-based load-bearing board being less than 12 mm.

2. The wooden load-bearing wall according to claim 1 , wherein a measurement value of a yield strength (Py) by an in-plane shear test using a load-bearing wall test piece having a wall width of 1,820 mm and a height of 2,730 mm is greater than 7.6 kN.

3. The wooden load-bearing wall according to claim 1 , wherein a correction value (Pu′) of an ultimate strength (Pu) is 8.0 kN or more, a measurement value of a yield strength (Py) of the load-bearing wall measured by an in-plane shear test using a load-bearing wall test piece having a wall width of 1,820 mm and a height of 2,730 mm is 8.0 kN or more, or both the correction value (Pu′) and the measurement value of the yield strength (Py) are 8.0 kN or more.

4. The wooden load-bearing wall according to claim 1 ,
wherein a specific gravity of the gypsum-based load-bearing board is set to be 0.96 or less.

5. A method of constructing a wooden load-bearing wall fastening a gypsum-based load-bearing board to a wooden wall base used in a wooden framework construction method or a framework wall construction method by a fastener, the method comprising:
fastening the gypsum-based load-bearing board to the wooden wall base, in which the gypsum-based load-bearing board is constituted by a main member or a core member formed from a board-shaped hardened gypsum containing an inorganic fiber including glass fibers and an organic-based strength enhancer including starch that exert a lateral nail resistance of 500 N or more, the inorganic fiber being 0.3 to 5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of calcined gypsum, and the organic-based strength enhancer being 0.3 to 15 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of calcined gypsum, and a paper covering at least front and back sides of the main member or the core member, the main member and the paper or the core member and the paper constituting the load-bearing board, and a plate thickness of the gypsum-based load-bearing board being less than 12 mm.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein a specific gravity of the gypsum-based load-bearing board is set to be 0.96 or less.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein a measurement value of a yield strength (Py) as measured by an in-plane shear test using a load-bearing wall test piece having a wall width of 1,820 mm and a height of 2,730 mm is greater than 7.6 kN.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein a correction value (Pu′) of an ultimate strength (Pu) is increased to 8.0 kN or more, a measurement value of a yield strength (Py) measured by an in-plane shear test using a load-bearing wall test piece having a wall width of 1,820 mm and a height of 2,730 mm is increased to 8.0 kN or more, or the correction value (Pu′) is increased to 8.0 kN or more and the measurement value of the yield strength (Py) is 8.0 kN or more.

9. A gypsum-based load-bearing board comprising:
a main member or a core member formed from a board-shaped hardened gypsum containing an inorganic fiber including glass fibers and an organic-based strength enhancer including starch that exert a lateral nail resistance of 500 N or more, the inorganic fiber being 0.3 to 5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of calcined gypsum, and the organic-based strength enhancer being 0.3 to 15 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of calcined gypsum, and a paper covering at least front and back sides of the main member or the core member to constitute the load-bearing board, and a plate thickness of the gypsum-based load-bearing board being less than 12 mm.

10. The gypsum-based load-bearing board according to claim 9 , wherein a specific gravity of the load-bearing board is set to be 0.96 or less.

11. The gypsum-based load-bearing board according to claim 9 , wherein the gypsum-based load-bearing board has a laminated structure in which a surface or a surface layer of the core member is covered with the paper.

12. The gypsum-based load-bearing board according to claim 9 , wherein the main material or the core member of the gypsum-based load-bearing board contains an organopolysiloxane compound as an anti-degradation agent to prevent deterioration of the load-bearing strength.

13. The gypsum-based load-bearing board according to claim 9 , wherein the gypsum-based load-bearing board has a lateral nail resistance of 980 N or less.

14. The gypsum-based load-bearing board according to claim 9 , wherein a measurement value (Py) of a yield strength measured by an in-plane shear test using a load-bearing wall test piece having a wall width of 1,820 mm and a height of 2,730 mm is greater than 7.6 kN.
