A joint may be classified as nominally pinned if its design moment resistance is not greater than 0,25 times that required for a full strength joint, provided it has sufficient […]

A joint may be classified as full strength if its design moment resistance is not less than that of the connected members.

The moment-resisting mechanisms in a coupled shear wall are shown in figure: When the coupling beam is relatively weak, the major portion of moment resistance is due to moment components. […]
