Abstract

Seismic response of large panel wall systems connected by coupling beams is investigated using dynamic inelastic computer modeling techniques. Effects of coupling beam strength and stiffness are studied  as well as the method of providing vertical continuity. Coupling beams are shown to improve behavior significantly compared to isolated walls. Design and construction considerations are  discussed.
