Abstract:
In medium to high rise buildings located in seismically active regions coupled shear walls are one of the systems commonly used to resist lateral forces. . Building configuration and degree of coupling will effects the behaviour coupled shear wall. To ensure satisfactory performance of coupled shear wall systems under earthquake loading wall systems must be provided with sufficient deformation capacity as well as adequate strength. These systems should not collapse or be induced severe damage during earthquake actions. For this reason, coupled shear walls must have high strength, high ductility, high energy absorption capacity and high shear stiffness to limit lateral deformations.
