To enable a comparison between the shear strength of shear walls and that of reinforced concrete beams to be made, the behaviour of the latter is briefly reviewed. The findings of research projects, related to deep beams and the effects of repeated cyclic loading, are summarised. More detailed information on the shear strength of deep beams, tested at the University of Canterbury, is presented, Particular problems associated with four classes of typical shear walls of multi-storey structures are briefly highlighted. The current recommendation of the
 SEAOC code, as applied to shear walls, are critically examined and certain
anomalies, which may ensue from their interpretation, are illustrated. Areas of research, related to the full evaluation of reinforced concrete shear wall
 behaviour, are suggested. The paper concludes with a number of design recommendations which suggest themselves from this review.

Shear deformation in reinforced concrete structures is of a complex nature. A thorough understanding of the interaction between the shear strength, flexural strength, and flexural ductility is not yet achieved. A new shear-deformation-based theory is proposed and validated in this study. The so-called two-discrete-elements (TDE) shear deformation theory idealizes reinforced concrete members as series of two discrete types of elements: S-elements and C-elements. The S-elements are used to model the regions of concrete reinforced to resist flexural and shear deformation using longitudinal and transverse steel reinforcement, while the C-elements are used to model the reinforced concrete sections bounded by the stirrups. The compatibility between the two types of elements is enforced by controlling the crack angle. The formulation of the newly developed theory is discussed in terms of equilibrium of forces, compatibility within the elements, compatibility at the interface, and constitutive material modeling. The theory was applied to evaluate the deformability of reinforced concrete shear walls subjected to lateral loads for seismic design applications. It was also implemented to generate sample design charts referred to as axial–moment–shear interaction diagrams. These diagrams can be used to design shear walls subjected to combined action of axial load, moment, and shear as opposed to the conventional interaction diagrams in which only the axial load versus moment relationship is considered. Analysis results indicated the adequacy of the proposed theory in capturing the shear strength degradation and predicting structural failures controlled by the shear capacity.

The behavior of reinforced concrete walls that exhibit the shear mode of failure is studied, through the results of an experimental program that included the test of 26 full-scale specimens subjected to cyclic horizontal displacements of increasing amplitude. Test parameters were the aspect ratio of the walls, the amount of vertical and horizontal distributed reinforcement, and the compressive strength of concrete. The results include the cracking shear strength, the maximum shear strength, the drifts associated to these loads and the drift associated to a collapse limit state for each of the specimens tested. Conclusions are drawn concerning the deformation capacity, the energy absorption, the dissipation characteristics and the strength deterioration after maximum strength shown by the walls and the influence of vertical distributed reinforcement on the seismic behavior of walls.
