Finite element analysis of the dynamic response of planar coupled shear walls

The finite element method was used to analyze the dynamic characteristics and seismic responses of planar coupled shear walls. The conventional 8-d.o.f. plane stress rectangular finite element with linear edge displacement and a lumped mass formulation was used. Two coupled shear wall problems were...
