This one above is for small circular Openings.

For door, window and bigger rectangular holes it is useful a look to books related to rectangular holes in shear walls and vierendeel beams.
 
Also, you can freely download from the Collaboratory site at Mathsoft a worksheet doing the small circular opening calculation as per Mansur.
