Multistory walls were studied, considering symmetric and asymmetric distribution of openings with respect to a vertical axis. From the obtained results it can be observed that for a single strip of asymmetric perforated walls, the best approximations are obtained using the equivalent frame method more commonly used in Mexico, the method proposed by Coull and Choudhury, as well as the method baptized as the equivalent no prismatic wide column analogy, particularly as the number of stories of the wall increases. 000022392 540__ $$aText je chráněný podle autorského zákona č. 121/2000 Sb. 000022392 653__ $$aWalls with Openings, Asymmetric Distribution of Openings along the Height, Elastic Lateral Stiffness, Lateral Displacements. 000022392 7112_ $$aCOMPDYN 2015 - 5th International Thematic Conference$$cCrete (GR)$$d2015-05-25 / 2015-05-27$$gCOMPDYN2015 000022392 720__ $$aTena-Colunga, Arturo$$iRivera-Hernández, Germán 000022392 8560_ $$ffischerc@itam.cas.cz 000022392 8564_ $$s2405771$$uhttps://invenio.itam.cas.cz/record/22392/files/C674.pdf$$yOriginal version of the author's contribution as presented on CD, section: . 000022392 962__ $$r22030 000022392 980__ $$aPAPER
