  The Failure Mechanism of Reinforced Concrete Couple Shear Walls and Coupling Beams- A Ductility Approach
  Author(s): Sk Amjad Hossain* and Ashutosh Bagchi
  
  The coupled shear wall system is one of the effective potential options in midrise and high rise reinforced concrete buildings design. In seismic design consideration it is very important to ensure that the flexural displacement capacity which is known as ductility should be greater than flexural displacement demand. Non-linear dynamic analyses are performed on 12 storey slender coupled shear wall buildings in 14 different models as per Canadian Code CSA-A23.3 14, except the coupling beams are modelled with conventional reinforcements. Inelastic rotational and curvature demand of 06 coupling beams on each building at different level which are modelled with conventional reinforcements are investigated and the results are compared with US building codes, ACI-318-19, ATC 40 and FEMA-273-356. Investigation shows that coupling beams modelled with conventional reinfo.. Read More»
