An Efficient Model for the Coupling Beam Using Damping Devices in Coupled Shear Wall Structures under Earthquake Loads

This paper proposes a new element for modeling the energy-dissipation coupling beam to analyze the coupled shear wall structure under seismic loading. The new beam element includes 2 rigid beams and an energy dissipation device in the middle. The element stiffness matrix is derived based on principl...
