An Estimate of the Yield Displacement of Coupled Walls for Seismic Design Hernández Montes, Enrique Aschheim, Mark Coupled walls Shear walls Earthquake engineering A formula to estimate the yield displacement observed in the pushover analysis of coupled wall lateral force-resisting systems is presented. The estimate is based on the results of an analytical study of coupled walls ranging from 8 to 20 stories in height, with varied amounts of reinforcement in the reinforced concrete coupling beams and walls, subjected to first-mode pushover analysis. An example illustrates the application of these estimates to the performance-based seismic design of coupled walls. 2018-02-19T08:36:11Z 2018-02-19T08:36:11Z 2017-05-29 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Hernández-Montes, E.; Aschheim, M.
