Abstract
An effective design technique for symmetrical coupled shear walls is presented in this paper. The proposed formulation, including assumptions and steps with mathematical formulation, has been elaborated to arrive at the design technique. An example has been considered to validate the technique with the DRAIN-3DX and SAP non-linear analysis. A parametric study has also been considered to find out the limitations of this technique and suggest remedial action. It is concluded that the proposed design technique can be considered in the design of coupled shear walls under seismic motion.
