Steel Coupling Beams with a Replaceable Fuse
TL;DR: In this paper, steel coupling beams have emerged as a viable alternative to conventionally and diagonally reinforced concrete coupling beams because of their superior energy-dissipation characteristics, s...
Performance based design of coupled wall structures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered a 12-story reinforced concrete coupled core wall (CCW) building located in Seattle, Washington, and conducted nonlinear static and dynamic analyses to investigate the CCW structural behavior, adequacy of the design, and the evolution of the structural form from CCW system to a collection of linked wall piers.

Closure of "Effective Width of Coupling Slabs in Shear Wall Buildings"
W. K. Tso,Adel A. Mahmoud +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the stiffness of a coupling slab between two shear walls is computed by means of the finite element method, and the results are expressed in terms of the effective widths of the slab and are presented in design chart form.

Finite element analysis of punching shear behavior of reinforced concrete slabs supported on walls
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the punching shear behavior of interior slab-wall connections subjected to concentric vertical loading, and combined concentric horizontal loading and uniaxial unbalanced moment using a plasticity-based nonlinear finite element model (FEM).

Interaction of Shear Walls and Frames
Fazlur R. Khan,John A. Sbarounis +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the distribution of lateral forces and their effects on the resisting elements of buildings braced with shear walls are obtained by an iterative method directly applicable to design, which is suitable both for manual computations as well as for relatively small computers with memory capacity less than 20,000 digits.
