Özet: Shear walls are the most preferred structural elements to resist the horizontal loads due to high lateral stiffness. With the advancing technology, it has allowed the shear walls to be examined with different methods in the light of developments in both building materials and experimental setups. RC shear walls have been examined in terms of both the materials such as fiber concrete, lightweight concrete, high-strength concrete, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars, freeze-thaw resistance, corrosion resistance, and strengthening. It is expected that RC shear walls will be produced with reinforcements with higher mechanical and durability characteristics in the coming years, instead of the conventional steel reinforcement arrangement. It is obvious that instead of conventional concrete, it will be produced with special type cement-based composites, where the weaknesses of conventional concrete will be eliminated. The paper presents the behavior of RC shear walls within the constructional materials perspective.
