Performance evaluation of masonry Infilled RC frame structures under lateral loads
Abstract
Numerous studies on masonry infill panels have greatly contributed to the research of strength, stiffness and energy dissipation capacity of various buildings. If the effects of masonry panels are disregarded, structural damage will occur under any significant ground motion, and even lead to collapse of the entire structure. The mode of failure is strongly dependent on the masonry and RC frame interaction. This work proposes an evaluation method for determining the participation ratio of masonry infill panels on RC frames under lateral loads.
