INTRODUCTION Coupled hear wall conit of two hear wall interconnected by beam along their height. The behavior of coupled hear wall i mainly governed by the coupling beam. The coupling beam are deigned for ductile inelatic behavior in order to diipate energy to provide damping during an earthquake. The bae of the hear wall may be deigned a pinned or may be deigned for ductile inelatic behavior. The amount of energy diipation depend on the yield moment capacity and platic rotation of the coupling beam. If the yield moment capacity i too high, then the coupling beam will undergo only limited rotation and diipate little energy. On the other hand, if the yield moment capacity i too low, then the coupling beam may undergo rotation much larger than their platic rotation capacitie. Therefore, the coupling beam hould be provided with an optimum level of yield moment capacitie depending on the platic rotation capacity available. The platic rotation capacity in coupling beam depend upon the type of coupling beam teel beam with hear-dominant coupling beam, teel beam with flexure-dominant coupling beam, R.C.C. beam with conventional flexural and hear reinforcement, R.C.C. beam with diagonal reinforcement, and R.C.C. beam with rhombic reinforcement.

Nonlinear puhover analyi i required to obtain the capacity curve beyond elatic limit []. There are variou program like DRAIN-3DX [3] which can be ued to perform nonlinear analyi to determine the capacity curve.

3 A PROCEDURE FOR THE EAUATION OF COUPING BEAM 33. PROPOSED FORMUATION. Aumption. Coupled hear wall exhibit flexural behavior.. Point of contra flexure occur at mid point of clear pan of the beam. 3. Axial deformation of the beam can be neglected. 4. Coupling beam carrie axial force, hear force and bending moment. 5. The lateral loading ha a triangular variation. 6. The horizontal diplacement in each point of wall i equal to the horizontal diplacement in each point of wall due to the preence of coupling beam. 7. All coupling beam have identical moment capacitie. They are platified or carry equal amount of hear force imultaneouly before collape mechanim i formed, i.e. all beam reach the rotational level at collape prevention imultaneouly a well a all coupling beam reach the rotational level at yield point at the ame intant. 8. The curvature of the two wall are ame at any level. In Figure (a), the coupled hear wall are ubjected to a triangular variation of point loading in each torey with amplitude of F at the roof level. The value of F could be determined o that all coupling beam reach their rotational limit for collape prevention level a well a yield level imultaneouly, then ubequently the bae hear, roof diplacement and hear force developed in coupling beam could be determined. The procedure including tep a well a mathematical calculation ha been illutrated a follow with initial value of F a :. Step ) Select type of coupling beam and determine it hear capacity. ) Determine the fraction of total lateral loading ubjected on wall and wall repectively. 3) Determine hear force developed in coupling beam for different bae condition. 4) Determine wall rotation in each torey. 5) Check for occurrence of platic hinge at the bae of the wall. For wall hinged at the bae thi check i not required. 6) Calculate coupling beam rotation in each torey. 7) Check if coupling beam rotation lie at yield level or collape prevention level. 8) Modify the value of F for next iteration tarting from tep () if tep (7) i not atified a per the aumption (7). Otherwie go to tep (9). 9) Calculate bae hear and roof diplacement..3 Mathematical Calculation Step : For variou type of reinforced (conventional, diagonal or rhombic) coupling beam, limiting value of hear capacity i given by table, p.8f = λ c bh b ()

Pandey Where, breadth of coupling beam i b; depth of coupling beam i h b ; f c i pecified compreive trength of concrete and young modulu of concrete E c depend on f c and λ i a factor of value.5. For Steel hear dominant type of coupling beam, limiting value of hear capacity i given by table, p y w ( d t ) =.6F t () f For Steel flexural dominant type of coupling beam, limiting value of hear capacity i given by table, M p p = e (3) Where, M p = Z xfy, Z x i platic ection modulu, Fy i yield tre of teel and young modulu of teel E depend on F y, t w i web thickne, d i the depth of the ection and t f i flange thickne. Step : In Figure (b), free body diagram of coupled hear wall ha been hown; α and β are fraction of total lateral loading incident on wall and wall repectively, uch that, α+ β =. (4) Baed on the aumption (8), following equation can be written a M E c ( x) M ( x) I = (5) E ci or, M I ( x) M ( x) = (6) I If = torey number counted from the roof of the ytem (ranging from to n), n i total number of torie, b + w =, and b + w = then the moment about the center line of wall at a ditance x from roof in fig. (b) for x>, i F ( ) = { ( )( ) } α M x H (i )h x (i )h i i= H i= (7) Similarly, the moment about the center line of wall, i

5 A PROCEDURE FOR THE EAUATION OF COUPING BEAM 35 F ( ) = { ( )( ) } β M x H (i )h x (i )h i i= H i= (8) Subtituting (7) & (8) into (6) lead to the following equation I i= I F i= n { ( H (i )h )( x (i )h ) } = i= α H I F H { β ( H (i )h )( x (i )h ) } I i= i i (9) For implifying the above and conidering equation (4) in conjunction, α = I I + I + F n ( I + I ) ( H (i )h )( x (i )h ) H i= i= i ( I I ) () Step 3: The definition of degree of coupling could be written a [9], T l DC = () M ot Where, T i the axial force at the bae of the wall and M ot i total overturning moment. For fixed bae condition the degree of coupling varie from to wherea for the cae of pinned bae condition the degree of coupling i. So baed upon the above criteria and conidering equation (), hear force developed in the coupling beam could be determined a follow. Here = ince there i no coupling beam beyond the roof a per figure (b). Fixed bae condition: b M ot ( H) *[. ] n ( w ) + w = () = l Where, M ot i total overturning moment at the bae due to the lateral loading. Therefore, hear force in th coupling beam at a ditance x from roof i, ( x) M = ot ( x) b *[. ] (w + w ) i (3) l i=

Pandey n = ( H) Mot n = (4) l Therefore, hear force in coupling beam at a ditance x from roof i, ( x) M ot ( x) = i (5) l i= F F *(Hh )/H F *(H- h )/H F *(H- 3h )/H Wall I, A I, A F α C/ of Wall W Mid-point of C/ of F β W F *(H-(n-)h )/H Wal W W M A l M B Figure (a). Coupled hear wall Figure (b). Free body diagram of coupled hear wall Step 4: After getting α, β and at each torey for the particular value of F, bending moment value in each torey could be determined for each wall. After that, curvature diagram for each wall i generated from which wall rotation in each torey for the wall could be determined. Step 5: i. Tenile force in wall a well a compreive force in wall are calculated due to lateral loading in each level. ii. Compreive load in wall and wall are calculated in each torey due to gravity loading. iii. Net axial force in wall and wall in each torey are calculated. iv. Then, according to thee net axial force for the particular value of f ck, b, d and p, the limiting moment value in each torey in wall and wall could be determined from P- M interaction curve [-]. Where f ck, b, d and p are yield trength of concrete, breadth of a ection, depth of that ection and percentage of minimum reinforcement in that particular ection repectively. All thee limiting value are baically for linear

So if calculated bending moment value at the bae i greater than limiting moment value, then platic hinge in that particular torey would be formed otherwie no platic hinge would be formed. vi. If bae moment of wall i zero then real hinge would be formed at the bae of wall. Step 6: The rotation of coupling beam in each torey i determined a follow: Rotation of coupling beam at any level x for ymmetrical wall [], θ bx = θ wx + w (6) b Where, θwx i rotation of wall at any level x, w = w = w = depth of wall, b = length of coupling beam. Equation (6) can be written a follow, or ( ) = ( θ ) w ( θ ) + ( θ ) wx θ bx wx + (7) b wx w ( bx ) = ( θ bx ) θ (8) Equation (7) and (8) are for unymmetrical wall. For pot-yield rotation at the bae of the wall ( θ wp ), Equation (6) and (7) could be written a, θ = ( θ + θ ) (9) bx wb wx wp ( ) = ( θ ) = {( θ ) + ( )} θ () bx bx wx θ wp For real hinge rotation at the bae of wall ( θ w ), Equation (6) and (7) could be written a, θ = ( θ + θ ) () bx wb wx w ( ) = ( θ ) = {( θ ) + ( )} θ () bx bx wx θ w

Here auming rotational limit for rhombic reinforced type of coupling beam i equal a rotational limit for diagonal reinforced coupling beam. Check whether the rotation of all beam lie at yield level or collape prevention level, otherwie go to tep 8 where magnitude of F i being modified for different type of bae condition of wall. Step 8: The modified F will be a follow: w (F ) yieldlevel n j j= = n (3) i i= F = Where, the above equation repreent modified value of F for yield level and none or few or more beam carry equal amount of hear capacity in beam at the yield level.
