Cyclic testing of single-span weak frames with masonry infill
Abstract
Experimental test results for fourteen samples of single-span, single-storey, non-seismically designed reinforced-concrete (weak) masonry infill frames are presented in the paper. The samples, scaled 1 to 2, were subjected to the approximately constant vertical and in-plane horizontal cyclic load. Various geometrical and mechanical properties of reinforced-concrete frames and masonry infill were considered. Equations for estimating the interstorey drift ratio at the limit states under study are proposed based on testing conducted in the paper.
