In this work innovative hybrid coupled shear wall (HCSW) systems are considered, their preliminary design is discussed, their efficiency and limitations evaluated by means of nonlinear static (pushover) analysis as well as nonlinear dynamic (time-history) analysis. Different numbers of storeys and different geometries of the HCSW system are examined in order to give an overview of situations of interest in European seismic prone areas. The results presented in this paper show that promising solutions can be obtained and that some aspects require further research work. This study is part of a larger research project (INNO-HYCO - INNOvative HYbrid and COmposite steel-concrete structural solutions for building in seismic area) funded by the European Commission and currently under development.

Abstract
In this work innovative hybrid coupled shear wall (HCSW) systems are considered, their preliminary design is discussed, their efficiency and limitations evaluated by means of nonlinear static (pushover) analysis as well as nonlinear dynamic (time-history) analysis. Different numbers of storeys and different geometries of the HCSW system are examined in order to give an overview of situations of interest in European seismic prone areas. The results presented in this paper show that promising solutions can be obtained and that some aspects require further research work.
