Diagonally reinforced coupling beams
A previous investigation by Paulay¹ at the University of Canterbury cast doubts on the ability of coupling beams with an L/D ratio of 1.5 or less, to perform satisfactorily in a coupled shear wall system. A theoretical study of the behaviour of coupled shear walls indicated that a ductility of at le...
