This study aims to develop an accurate and versatile analytical framework to evaluate the global axial–flexural response of RC shear walls. Design/methodology/approach - A fully nonlinear, code-independent numerical framework is formulated based on strain compatibility, equilibrium enforcement, and curvature-controlled sectional analysis. The model incorporates advanced stress–strain relationships for confined and unconfined concrete, a bilinear steel constitutive law, and a high-resolution fiber discretization scheme capable of representing arbitrary cross-sectional shapes. The framework generates complete moment–curvature responses and axial–moment (P–M) interaction diagrams under uniaxial bending. Findings - The results exhibit strong agreement with established analytical models and reported experimental trends. The framework accurately captures nonlinear degradation, neutral-axis migration, confinement effects, and the influence of reinforcement distribution on axial–flexural capacity. Practical implications - The proposed model provides a reliable tool for performance-based assessment, design, and optimization of RC shear walls beyond simplified code provisions. Originality/value - The study introduces a geometry-independent, fully nonlinear modeling approach that enables detailed evaluation of irregular RC shear walls with enhanced accuracy and practical applicability. 2025 01 12 4240 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10.54216/IJBES.110201 https://www.americaspg.com/journal/22/article/4240 https://www.americaspg.com/storage/articles/manuscripts/01M2N9P15WDDGG1H9K8MHZC56E.pdf
