Abstract
The shear racking tests were made on the prefabricated wall panels with opening constructed with wooden framing and rawan plywood facings. Effectiveness of the formulae proposed by the author, predicting the shear stiffness and maximum load of the wall panel of the above type from the shear stiffness and maximum load of the wall panel without opening, is examined by the above test results. In this paper the results of the wall panels with openings of window and door types are examined, while vertical slit, horizontal slit and window were selected as the types of opening in the previous paper. The dimensions of the panels in this paper are larger than those of previous paper's panels.
