The connecting elements (i.e., beams) between coupled shear walls typically
require horizontal and vertical reinforcement to transfer shear from one
segment of the wall to the other. When the connecting elements are
incapable of transferring shear from one shear wall to the other, the walls
are referred to as non-coupled and can be analysed as cantilevers fixed at
the base.
