Infilled frames are usually modelled in the context of global building analysis using simplified procedures without considering aspects resulting from interaction between panel and frame. Other aspects, such as adequate design floor beams beam-columns’ joints, control potential sliding shear failure columns, that significantly affect structural response, also typically not accounted for. In pre...

Original scientific paper Reinforced-concrete (R/C) frames infilled with masonry wall, especially with the presence of an opening, are insufficiently explored structural elements. We have experimentally investigated influence of the opening’s type and position to the lateral response of reinforced-concrete frames with masonry infill. Correction factors, that take into account influence of the o...

The over-strength coefficient is one of the key factors for seismic safety a structure. For RC frames, infill wall may improve lateral bearing capacity, while demand increases as well, which leads to unexpected performance an infilled frame in past earthquakes. Therefore, it necessary systematically study effect frames from point capacity and demand. In this paper, 36 structures with/without wa...

We have developed the new hybrid structure of CLT infill and steel frame for middle-rise high-rise buildings. This structural system can achieve high potential panel by holding around with frame. Steel support sustained load a building without panels build long-span beams reasonably. Compression stress seismic be transmitted to upper bottom through strength mortal layer, secure shear as boundar...
