how to design this link beam

[cityboy]

I have a shear wall which has a 5ft by 7ft opening on each floor, we used a link beam with has 10ft depth to connect the opening. Now I need to design the concrete beam, anybody has ideas how to design it? Is the beam to deep? Can I design it as shear wall rotated 90 degree? Attached is a sketch of the shear wall and link beam.
Thanks all.

If it is for seismic applications, need to comply with ACI Ch 21. They give you a diagram of how the rebar need to look. Hopefully, you're section is wide enough to do it.
