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.}, publisher = {Springer}, keywords = {Coupled walls}, keywords = {Shear walls}, keywords = {Earthquake engineering}, title = {An Estimate of the Yield Displacement of Coupled Walls for Seismic Design}, doi = {10.1007/s40069-017-0188-5}, author = {Hernández Montes, Enrique and Aschheim, Mark}, }
