The installation of new opening is necessary for remodeling project, house merging type. Current structural design code cannot provide the deterministic way for designing the shear walls with openings. So many engineers prefer to retrofit the perforated wall area for the structural safety. For the safe design of retroftitting, for the perforated structural walls, we carried out nonlinear finite element analysis to find the coupling effect of remaing walls. Specifically, many types of shapes were considered and various area of rectangular openings were analyzed. For the effective retrofitting, door shape and such area about 20% of wall is appropriate for retrofitting of reinforced concrete shearwalls.

This paper uses ANSYS finite element program to do the nonlinear finite element analysis on steel reinforced concrete L-shaped short-shear walls. Through applying the vertical and horizontal load on the model, three typical stages of the whole working period are studied. And the cracking load and deformation regularity in various stages are obtained. The development process of cracks until the specimen damaged is revealed. At last, the development process of crack distribution at different stages is studied.
