Title: Behaviour of Shear Wall Models with Circular Wall Openings
Authors: Qureshi, Aejaz A.

Department: Civil Engineering
Publication Date: Feb-1968
Abstract: <p>This thesis describes the development of a technique to build small scale shear wall building models containing circular wall-openings without floors, using a suitable concrete mortar. Tests were conducted to study the behaviour of such models under lateral static loads. The behaviour of these models is compared with those containing no wall openings. The test and analytical results as predicted by Vlasov's theory are compared to investigate the effect of such openings in shear wall models. Analysis of the problem is also attempted using Rosman's shear connection approach.</p>
