The purpose of this paper is to review the advances that have been made in the design of
monolithic and precast reinforced concrete walls, both with and without openings, subject to …

In recent years, the strengthening and retrofitting of structural members using externally
bonded carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials has gained a great deal of …

Currently the wall panel design equations given in the Australian Standard and the
American Institute Code offer no guidelines for the inclusion of side restraints or openings …

Forty seven reinforced concrete walls with various opening configurations are tested in both
one-way and two-way action. The test panels, with a slenderness ratio of 30, 35 or 40, were …

Old structures are frequently modified to comply with current living standards and/or
legislation. Such modifications may include the addition of new windows or doors and paths …

Reinforced concrete walls with openings are tested in both one-way and two-way action.
The test panels, with a slenderness ratio of 30 or 40, were subjected to a uniformly …

RC walls with an opening under eccentric axial loads exhibit cracks around the opening
leading to a reduction in the ultimate strength of the wall. These cracks are mainly due to …

This study focuses on the effect of opening on the performance of bamboo-reinforced
concrete wall panels subjected to one-way in-plane action. The study evaluates the …

An experimental study has been carried out to determine the strength and behaviour of
bamboo-reinforced concrete wall panels under one-way in-plane action. Three full-scale …

The simplified wall design formulae specified in the Australian (AS3600) and American
(ACI318) concrete standards are intended for the design of normal strength concrete load …
