| Abstract |
The usefulness of walls in the structural planning of multistory buildings has long been recognized, When walls are situated in advantageous position in a buildings, they can be very efficient in resisting lateral load. Specially, coupled shear wall system is the primary lateral load resisting system of buildings. It is customary to refer to such walls as being "coupled" by coupling beams. The coupling beams must exhibit excellent strength, stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation capacity. To achieve these demands, steel coupling beam with Face Bearing Plate (FBP) embedded in the reinforced concrete walls is proposed. A comprehensive experimental test involving 2 steel coupling beams with FBP embedment length 240mm and 300 mm has been performed. Through experimental study, the evaluation of the seismic performance and deformation characteristic of steel coupling beam joint with FBP was establish. |
