Abstract
A bearing wall includes a pair of vertical members that are joined to upper and lower horizontal members of a building so as to be spaced apart in a horizontal direction; and a wall surface member that includes a first joint portions joined to one of the vertical members, that includes a second joint portions joined to another of the vertical members, and that includes circular-shaped opening portions that are spaced apart in an up-down direction between the pair of vertical members so as to be disposed in a single column. A separation distance between a center of one opening portion and a center of an opening portion that is adjacent to the one opening portion in the up-down direction is shorter than a horizontal separation distance between the first joint portions and the second joint portions.
