The current study aims to investigate damage assessment of the RC frames with brick masonry infill (BMI). effects near-source ground motions (GMs) are considerably predominant in seismic response structure as related far-source motion due their forward directivity plus long period. is characterized by enormous everlasting translation, strong peak acceleration (PGA), and a very low-frequency pul...

This study presents a finite element (FE) model, the accuracy of which is verified by comparison between numerical and test results. The calibrated model used to investigate influence vertical arrangement masonry material infill walls on seismic performance reinforced concrete (RC) frames through pushover analysis time–history analysis. lateral capacity, interstorey drift ratio, plastic hinge d...

The primary focus of this study is to evaluate the nonlinear response reinforced concrete (RC) frames with two types brick infills viz., unreinforced masonry infill (URM) and semi-interlocked (SIM) together lintel beams, subjected seismic loads. quantified in terms reduction factor base shear. Infill walls are modeled using double strut cyclic element. Nonlinear static adaptive pushover analysi...

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 mo...
