Seismic Design of Hybrid Coupled Walls
Publication: Structures 2001: A Structural Engineering Odyssey
Abstract
Hybrid coupled walls consist of reinforced concrete shear walls coupled together in-plane with structural steel coupling beams, forming an efficient structural system that is particularly suited for seismic applications. Although more economical than isolated shear walls because of the coupling action inherent in the system, little research has been done towards developing performance measures and a practical design method for such a system. Existing seismic provisions, including FEMA 302 and AISC 1997 Seismic Provisions, give little guidance for system design and the amount of coupling necessary for optimum performance.
