A moment resisting joint with lagscrewbolts shows good mechanical performance and aesthetic view due to not exposing the connectors to the outside. However, the beam and column joints rarely showed a brittle shear failure at the panel zone of the column surrounded by the lagscrewbolts. In this research, a joint system reinforced by long wood screws was confirmed to improve the strength properties and prevent from the failure at the early stage. As the results, the maximum shear strength and stiffness increased with increasing the number of the screws embedded with a comfortable space between each lagscrewbolts and edge distance.
