Hybrid coupled shear wall with steel coupling beams has often been used as load-resisting system of high-rise buildings under lateral loads. However, joint between steel beam and shear wall is under combined and high stress. Reinforcement details of the joint are very heavy. This study addresses the effect of shear wall cement composites type in hybrid wall system on the seismic performance of steel coupling beams embedded in shear wall. The main test variables were the failure mode of steel coupling beam and types of cement composites, such as PSH2C and concrete, for shear wall.

Hybrid coupled shear wall system with steel coupling beams has known as the effective lateral load resisting system for tall buildings subjected to earthquake. This paper addresses the influence on horizontal ties of steel coupling beams in pseudo strain hardening cementitious composite (PSH2C) hybrid coupled shear wall. Test variables included the connection detail and types of material, concrete and PSH2C, in the connection region. The results show that Specimen PSH2C-SB and PSH2C-SBVRT exhibits a better stable behavior than Specimens HCWS-SB and HCWS-SBVRT.

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.

The coupled shear wall with replaceable coupling beams is a current research hotspot, while still lacking comprehensive studies that combine both experimental and numerical approaches to describe the global performance of the structural system. In this paper, hybrid coupled shear walls (HSWs) with replaceable coupling beams (RCBs) are studied. The middle part of the coupling beam is replaced with a replaceable “fuse”. Four ½-scale coupled shear wall specimens including a conventional reinforced concrete shear wall (CSW) and three HSWs (F1SW/F2SW/F3SW) with different kinds of replaceable “fuses” (Fuse 1/Fuse 2/Fuse 3) are tested through cyclic loading. Fuse 1 is an I-shape steel with a rhombic opening at the web; Fuse 2 is a double-web I-shape steel with lead filled in the gap between the two webs; Fuse 3 consists of two parallel steel tubes filled by lead. The comparison of seismic properties of the four shear walls in terms of failure mechanism, hysteretic response, strength degradation, stiffness degradation, energy consumption, and strain response is presented. The nonlinear finite element analysis of four shear walls is conducted by ABAQUS software. The deformation process, yielding sequence of components, skeleton curves, and damage distribution of the walls are simulated and agree well with the experimental results. The primary benefit of HSWs is that the damage of the coupling beam is concentrated at the replaceable “fuse”, while other parts remain intact. Besides, because the “fuse” can dissipate much energy, the damage of the wall-piers is also alleviated. In addition, among the three HSWs, F1SW possesses the best ductility and load retention capacity while F2SW possesses the best energy dissipation capacity. Based on this comprehensive study, some suggestions for the conceptual design of HSWs are further proposed.

Coupling beams are essential structural elements of reinforced concrete coupled shear wall to resist earthquakes and other lateral loads. But many current reinforced concrete coupling beams are insufficient in resisting lateral loads due to their bad ductility. So a test of retrofitting methods of deep coupling beams with steel plates since their good performance in the ductility and deformation was made to find ways of improving the ductility of the beams, and the results of this retrofitting method prove good because of the incensement of the ductility, deformation and strength of the beams.

This paper addresses the seismic behavior of coupling beams with headed reinforcing bars in coupled shear wall system. Test variable included the replacement ratios of headed reinforcing bars. The results show that Specimen HB 50 exhibits a better stable behavior in comparison with Specimens Specimen CON and Specimen HB 30. Test results showed that the amount of diagonal reinforcing bars in the coupling beam may be reduced when headed reinforcing bars are utilized.
