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 …

The urgent need for an opening in the reinforced concrete (RC) walls after the construction
for doors, windows and essential services causes local cracking around the opening which …

Shear walls are one of the primary lateral resisting structural elements. Due to architectural
and technical needs, openings in the structural wall are almost inevitable. Discontinuity …

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 …

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 …

This paper presents the finite element analysis (FEA) results of a multi-story reinforced
concrete (RC) building having precast and cast-in-place load bearing walls. Door-type cut …
