Abstract
A general design procedure proposed by Clough is applied to a precast coupled shear wall structure located in UBC Seismic Zones 2, 3 and 4. Both slender and deep coupling beams are considered. Inelastic static analyses using the finite element method are carried out to compare the results with Clough's method. This study showed that large panel structures with deep coupling beams behave in a satisfactory manner in all seismic zones. In comparison, coupled walls with slender beams showed a less satisfactory response. The application of Clough's method is illustrated with the aid of a fully worked design example.
