Experimental Study on Seismic Performance of Coupling Beams of Steel Fiber Concrete Shear Walls

Based on the experimental study on the three coupling beams of steel fiber concrete shear walls under the cyclic reverse load, the destruction of the coupling beams, hysteresis curves, capacity and displacement ductility are described. The different volume fraction of steel fiber of the coupling beams have great effect on the destruction, capacity and displacement ductility. On the basis of the test results, we find enough volume fraction of steel fiber in the coupling beams can improve the energy dissipation capacity.
