Abstract

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.
