The distributions of the normal stresses, σ_x and σ_y, and the shearing stress τ_<xy> of three-storied walls with opening, under the uniformly distributed lateral loads acted on the upper surfaces of the beam of each story, are investigated in this report. The sizes of the wall and the types of the opening are the same reported in Part IV. The main results obtained are as follows : 1. The stress distributions at each story are resemble each other, except the neighborhood of the column base in the first story. 2. On the walls with the rectangular opening, the stress distributions in the walled girder are resemble to that of the widthwise opening walls, and in the walled column, of the lengthwise opening walls, respectively. 3. All of the stresses are affected considerably by the stress concentrations at the corners of the opening. Excepting the neighborhood of the corners of the opening, 4. σ_x : on the vertical section in the walled girder, σ_x disributes approximately in a straight line. 5. σ_y : Near the center of the column height, the inflection point (line) are produced in general, and at a short distance from this line, σ_y do not distribute straightly, and on the outside of the column σ_y distributes almost straightly in the direction of the height. 6. τ_<xy> : In the column top and bottom of the walls, having the rectangular or the widthwise opening, the large negative shearing stresses are produced.
