This paper provides review of research results undertaken on reinforced concrete wall panels in one way and two way. The review also highlights two well accepted code design methods from the American (ACI) and Australia Concrete structures standards. The emphasis is on walls under axial compression only with changes in various parameters. These include the variation of panel dimensions panels (ie. Slenderness, thinness and aspect ratios), steel reinforcement, eccentricities, concrete strength and support conditions. The main purpose of this review is to compile research previous by undertaken to highlight the inadequate in certain research literature. It is envisage that this review will expose areas in wall research required so that inadequate in current methods can be rectified.
