Comparative Analysis on Lateral Strength of Multi-Span RC Frame with Different Types of Infill Walls

Abstract The seismic behaviour studies of structures with RC frame show that the wall infill significantly improved lateral strength. However, since numerical analysis considers walls as non-structural components, rarely includes infills. It is strongly recommended in further research to investigate under load for having one important components their design process. This study developed two models multi-span frames; 1) made brick masonry, and 2) lightweight block masonry. Furthermore, results were compared strength models. In order verify results, a comparison prior analytical experimental was conducted.
