Coupled Shear Walls

This document provides design criteria and analysis for coupled shear walls based on ASCE 7-22 and ACI 318-19 standards. The criteria requires coupling beams to have stronger shear and axial capacities than flexural capacities at all seismic load levels. Shear walls must have minimum required capacities for moment, axial force, and shear at the service design level based on coupling beam end hinge capacities. The analysis determines the coupling beam flexural and axial capacities, and verifies the beam satisfies the strong shear weak flexure requirement.

Coupled Shear Walls Design Based on ASCE 7-22 & ACI 318-19

DESIGN CRITERIA
All coupled shear walls (RC, pure Steel, or Composite
Plate Shear Wall) have to be ductility designed:
1. Coupling beams (CB) have to have stronger shear
and axial capacities than flexural. No matter what
level seismic loads (ASD, SD, MCE, or FLE), the
CB plastic hinges only happened at the ends.
2. Shear walls have to have the minimum
capacities fMn, fNn, and fVn, at SD design
level, based on all CB end hinges with possible
maximum flexural force, (fMn,CB)max.
3. The CB hinge fMn,CB & fNn,CB always coupled
together, no matter which is RC (ACI 318-19
Tab. 21.2.2 & Fig. R10.4.2.1), pure Steel (AISC 360-16
H1), or Filled Composite (AISC 360-16 I 1.1b & I4).
