Abstract:
Shearwalls with one opening have been designed according to the Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ) standard for structural calculation of reinforced concrete structures using allowable stresses. However, effective reinforcement details have been developed by current research in the search for a new and rational design method. This paper reports the outline of earthquake- resistant design of shearwalls with openings according to a method based on ultimate capacity.
