    Reinforced concrete walls are a frequently used earthquake resisting structural system. When they are coupled only by slabs without coupling beams, they are considered cantilever walls. During the ... past earthquakes, several buildings with such walls were severely damaged and responded differently than it was assumed during the design. In this paper, a preliminary parametric study to analyse the main parameters influencing the seismic response of RC walls coupled only by slabs and their complex interaction is presented. The main parameters studied included the dimensions of the walls' cross-section and the height of the walls, the size of the openings between the walls, the slabs' effective width, the strength of the slabs and walls. The study confirmed that considerable coupling of walls could be provided only by slabs, particularly when significant effective width of the slabs was engaged. Consequently, significant axial forces were developed in walls, ca using a considerable redistribution of seismic demand between the wall piers.
