PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bearing wall frame that offers same structural performance values even when dimensions and positions in a vertical direction of openings for windows differ.SOLUTION: The bearing wall frame 1 has a plurality of bearing units 3A, 3B, 3C spanned and vertically aligned between a pair of adjacent columns 2, with both ends connected to the columns. An opening 10 for a window is formed between two of the bearing units, namely 3A, 3C, among the plurality of bearing units 3A, 3B, 3C. Each of the two bearing units 3A, 3C has a pair of lateral members 4, 5 that are apart in a vertical direction, and a shear force bearing member 6 interposed between these lateral members 4, 5 apart in the vertical direction. Furthermore, a distance between the lateral members 4, 5 in a vertical direction differs between the two bearing units. The shear force bearing member is, for example, a plurality of vertical members 6 connected between the lateral members 4, 5 at a plurality of locations in a longer-side direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
