Shear Walls Coupled by Cross Wall
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 109, Issue 8
Abstract
An analysis is performed to study the behavior of two parallel but not colinear shear walls coupled by a cross wall subjected to lateral loading. It is shown that the cross wall essentially acts as a shear transfer medium. The effectiveness of coupling the two parallel walls depends on the height-to-width ratio of the cross wall and criteria for full coupling is presented.
