Abstract
This report discusses the use of plane frame idealizations for the analysis
of perforated shear walls. The relationships between the perforated masonry
walls and the equivalent frames that simulate them are examined. T h e method
is proven accurate for different wall shapes by comparing the results with those
obtained from finite element analyses. T h e advantages of the method over the
finite element method are discussed.
