The coupling beam is recognized that critical structural elements, those whose yield strength is likely to be exceeded in the event of a severe earthquake, should be designed and detailed to exhibit large ductilities and stable hysteretic loop. As a result, the alternation reinforcement details of reinforced concrete coupling beam was investigated.
