Steel Coupling Beam

Coupled shear walls are widely used in high rise buildings, since they can not only provide efficient lateral stiffness but also behave outstanding energy dissipation ability especially for earthquake-resistance. Traditionally, the coupling beams are made of reinforced concrete, which are prone to shear failure due to low aspect ratio and greatly reduce the efficiency and ability of energy dissipation.  For overcoming the shortcoming of concrete reinforced coupling beams (RCB), an innovative steel coupling beams called two-level-yielding steel coupling beam (TYSCB) is invented to balance the demand of stiffness and energy dissipation for coupled shear walls. TYSCBs are made of two parallel steel beams with yielding at two different levels.  To verify and investigate the aseismic behaviour improvement of TYSCB-coupled shear walls, two 1/3 scale, 10-storey coupled shear wall specimens with TYSCB and RCB were tested under both gravity and lateral displacement reversals. These two specimens were designed with the same bearing capacity, thus to be easier to compare. The experimental TYSCB specimen demonstrated more robust cyclic performance. Both specimens reached 1% lateral drift, however, the TYSCB-coupled shear wall showed minimal strength degradation. Additionally, a larger amount of energy was dissipated during each test of the TYSCB specimen, compared with the RCB specimen. Based on the experimental results, design recommendations are provided.

Reinforcement Scheme

Coupling beam, the first line resisting earthquake, is directly related to the overall performance of the shear wall structure. Using the large general finite element analysis software ANSYS, the coupling beam span-depth ratio is 2~3 different reinforcement scheme in finite element analysis. Analysis on the ductility performance of reinforced concrete coupling beams in shear wall structure in three fields: the concrete strength grade, the longitudinal reinforcement ratio and the stirrup ratio, provides a basis for the design of the structure and to provide a reference for similar studies.

Steel Coupling Beams

The design and nonlinear dynamic analyses of four coupled wall prototype structures are presented. Two ductile partially coupled and two ductile coupled wall structures are considered, each having reinforced concrete and steel coupling beams. The design of each of the prototype structures was based on the provisions of the 1995 National Building Code of Canada. Nonlinear dynamic analyses of each structure, using four different scaled earthquake ground motions are presented and the results discussed. Comparisons of the responses of the structures with concrete and steel coupling beams are made, demonstrating the advantages of using steel beams to couple reinforced concrete walls.Key words: composite construction, coupled wall, diagonally reinforced concrete coupling beam, "flexure critical" steel coupling beam, seismic design, "shear critical" steel coupling beam.

This paper addresses the seismic behavior of pseudo strain hardening cementitious composite (PSH2C) coupling beams with different failure modes in hybrid coupled shear wall. Test variables included the ratio of steel coupling beam strength to beam-wall connection strength. The results show that Specimen PSH2C-SCF exhibits a better stable behavior in comparison with Specimens PSH2C-SBVRT and PSH2C-FCF.
