According to the recent trends which conserve environment and make efficient utilization of resources in the construction projects, many structural engineers prefer to improve the deteriorated building capacity. So, a series of three shear wall specimens was tested under constant axial stress and reversed cyclic lateral load in order to evaluate behavior characteristics beam of coupling shear walls and slab of coupling shear wall. Specimens were 1/2-scale representations of two-story wall in a Korea apartment building that was built in 1980. The test of results, the ultimate strength of CW-RBS specimen and CW-RS specimen were 21.5% and 39.2% lower than that of original specimen. (Solid)
