A coupling beam is a critical structural component used in the construction of shear walls, which are essential elements in reinforced concrete buildings designed to resist lateral forces such as wind, earthquakes, or other horizontal loads. The coupling beam plays a crucial role in connecting and distributing the shear forces between adjacent shear walls or structural elements. It acts as a link that ensures the integrity and stability of the entire structural system
