Abstract

Reinforced concrete shear wall is commonly use in high-rise building that can provide a
major part of strength and stiffness in the building structure. Therefore, the engineer
must be a responsible to make a safe design for the human comfort as well. Shear wall
may have one and more openings for functional reasons. The number, location and sized
of opening affects the behavior of a structure as well as stresses in shear wall. In this
study, there are three model of shear wall with rectangular opening for different opening
dimensions and different height of shear wall. The minimum and the maximum principle
stresses obtained from the linear finite element analysis to determine the ultimate load
that can be sustain for each model. The behavior of shear wall had been analyzed using
LUSAS package version 13.5.
