Theories are developed herein for the prediction of the static behavior of reinforced concrete shear walls with openings. The thesis deals basically with: (a) stiffness, in the elastic range; and (b) strength, in both the elastic and ultimate ranges. The theories developed can be applied to walls with either reinforced or unreinforced openings. Four models of shear walls with reinforced openings and one solid wall were tested. All values obtained from the tests are in close agreement with theoretic values computed on the basis of the methods proposed in this thesis. [...]
