Thus an efficient method that can be used for the analysis of a high-rise building structure with shear walls regardless of the number, size and location of openings in the wall is proposed in this study. The proposed method uses super elements, substructures and fictitious beams. Static and ...
The box system that consists of reinforced concrete walls and slabs is adopted for many high-rise apartment buildings recently constructed. In an apartment building, shear walls may have one or more openings for functional reasons. Some researches on the analysis of shear wall with openings were ...
Behfarnia and Sayah (2012) have developed finite element method to predict the ultimate capacity of concrete shear walls with openings strengthened by FRP and verified with experimental data. The FE results showed the improvement of the ultimate load and displacement capacity of the shear wall. The...

An example of a proper application of this method is strengthening of shear walls with openings using FRP strips around them, especially at corners with high stress concentration, where FRP strips keep cracks closed and prevent brittle shear failure to the edges. The efficiency of FRP strengthening...
On the other hand,squat shear walls may also be provided with openings due to the functionalrequirement such as placement of doors/windows in the building. The size andlocation of the opening play a significant role in the response of the shearwall. Even though it is intuitively known that ...
Generally because of the economic advantage and stable behavior in seismic loading, shearwalls combined with coupling slabs are widely used in high-rise apartment buildings. When analyzing such structures for lateral loads, however, the question of the actual stiffness and strength of the coupling sla...
This study investigates the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls with various aspect ratios, focusing on the effects of openings for windows and doors on critical structural parameters. Solid slender walls show the lowest maximum load‐bearing capacity (83.5 kN),...
