Abstract: An innovative compound damper which can be replaced after earthquake is studied. The compound damper can be installed at the middle of coupling beam to protect the wall and improve the capacity for dissipate energy of coupling beams. Based on ABAQUS procedure, an equivalent simplified model which can effectively reflect characteristics of compound dampers are proposed and compared with the simulation model. The equivalent simplified model is used in the shear wall structure with coupling beams, and dynamic time history analysis is carried out under the rare earthquake. Taking the concrete beam as a reference, seismic performance influenced by alternative stiffness of beams which are installed the compound dampers are studied. The results show that the equivalent simplified model can show the characteristics of the compound dampers well; compound dampers can effectively reduce the inter story drift, base reaction and damage of the structure; when the value of alternative stiffness ratio is 0.4,the better damping effect of the structure can be obtained.
