Abstract:
Hybrid coupled walls (HCWs) are comprised of two or more reinforced concrete wall piers connected with steel coupling beams distributed over the height of the structure. Extensive research over the past several decades suggests that such systems are particularly well suited for use in regions of moderate to high seismic risk. This paper reviews the state of the art in seismic modeling, analysis, and design of HCW systems. Design methodologies are presented in both prescriptive and performance-based design formats and a discussion of alterative types of hybrid wall systems is provided.
