Abstract

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to find the lateral capacity of coupled shear wall by using thenonlinear pushover analysis method. The coupled walls were modelled as equivalent frames(also known as wide column analogy method) and analysed with pushover method usingSAP2000. For validation of this method, experimental and analytical results were compared.The comparison of the results showed that the method used in this paper complies with theexperimental results.Keywords: Coupled shear wall, shear wall openings, equivalent frame method, pushoveranalysisCite this ArticleAbdul Mujeeb Khan, Murnal Pranesh B.Lateral Capacity of Coupled Shear Wall.Journal of Structural Engineering andManagement. 2017; 4(3): 62–65p.
