Coupled shear walls (CSWs) are structural systems connect two or more walls at the floor
levels by reinforced concrete beams called coupling beams (CBs). These systems have …

Coupled shear walls are widely used as the primary lateral load resisting element in high-
rise buildings. But the coupling beams, which are often designed as deep members, usually …

Sectional deformation quantities, such as curvature and ductility, are of prime significance in
the displacement‐based seismic design and performance evaluation of structural members …
