In high rise building shear wall is used to resisting the lateral loads that may be induced by the effect of wind and earthquakes. Some researches on the analysis of shear wall with openings were performed, but some restrictions prevent those research results from being applied to the practical analysis and design procedure. It is necessary to use element models for an accurate analysis of a box system structure with openings. Comparative study concludes that changing the position of shear wall

... of reinforced concrete structures with various opening sizes in buildings openings are economical. The scope of the present work was to study seismic responses of the ten storey RC shear wall building with or without openings. Developed mathematical modeling and analyzed the reinforced concrete shear wall building by using different nonlinear methods (time history and seismic method). These methods differ in respect to accuracy, simplicity, transparency and clarity of theoretical background.
