INTRODUCTION :
Due scarcity of space construction of high raised structures increases day by day. Such structures are subjected to wind load and earthquake load which disturb the lateral stability of structure. In the seismic design of buildings shear walls and bracing system provides the lateral stability to the structure.

Shear wall
These are vertical walls generally start at foundation level and continuous throughout the building height.
Shear walls are like vertically-oriented wide beams that carry earthquake loads downwards to the foundation. Shear walls provide large strength and stiffness to buildings in the direction of their orientation, which significantly reduces lateral sway of the building and thereby reduces damage to structure.

Bracing system
Steel bracing is a highly efficient and economical method of resisting horizontal forces in a frame structure.
Bracing is efficient because the diagonals work in axial stress and therefore call for minimum member sizes in providing stiffness and strength against horizontal shear.

Reinforcement coupler
Reinforcement couplers are the mechanical connectors.
They are designed to mechanically join two bars together by creating an end-to-end bar connection.

Parallel threaded coupler
In parallel threaded coupler system thread is made on the ends of the reinforcing bars. Which are then connected by coupler. The strength of assembly is directly proportional to thread engaging length.

Comparative Study of reinforcement coupler and lap splicing

Tapered threaded coupler
The couplers comprise an internally threaded sleeve which are tapered towards the middle of the coupler. Strength is achieved by combined effect of stress concentration and reduced net area. Suitable for connecting two bars of the same diameter .

Comparative Study of reinforcement coupler and lap splicing

Alligator coupler
Alligator couplers are used to connect reinforcing bars of different diameters. Connection is made by inserting bars into both ends of the coupler and screwing breaking bolts.

Crimped sleeve coupler
In this system coupler is crimped by means of a hydraulic crimping tool onto the ribbed bar. This system is used for relatively large diameter.

LITERATURE REVIEW :
Title :Seismic Analysis of RCC Building with and Without Shear Wall

Author : P. P. Chandurkar, Dr. P. S. Pajgade Summary : Changing the position of shear wall will affect the attraction of forces, Providing shear walls at adequate locations substantially reduces the displacements due to earthquake.

Title

: Influenced of Reinforcement Couplers on the Cracking of Reinforced Concrete Members.

Author : VIDMANTAS J., LINAS J. Summary : Mechanical spices can bear and deform more than lap splicing before failure.

Motivation
In metro cities due to scarcity of space construction of high raised structures is increasing day by day which in turn will increase the need lateral stability of structure against earthquake and wind load. In order to increase the lateral stability of building shear wall and bracing system are the better option.
