A simplified method is proposed to estimate the seismic response of coupled shear walls for design purposes. The method consists of first obtaining the dynamic characteristics of the structure approximately. The vibrating cantilever modes are taken as the approximate mode shapes of the structure. Th
## SUM MARY The continuous medium technique has been widely used in the preliminary analysis and design of coupled shear walls in tall buildings by practising engineers for many years. One of the basic assumptions made when using this approximate method is that the coupling beams deform with point
