In this study, a practical seismic retrofit method for RC frames was proposed. For purpose, quasi-static loading applied to 8 different type of in finite elements analysis software, Abaqus and were pushed 45mm laterally. High strength fiber reinforced lightweight concrete panels used strengthen infill walls inside the frames. To apply them walls, epoxy binder polyurethane their behaviour compar...

A large number of researchers have studied the behavior of infilled frames. It is evident through their studies that infill walls can provide both an economic and practical means for the lateral stability of framed structures and a viable alternative for retrofitting existing structures to resist seismic, wind, and blast loads. Despite this, there is reluctance from the engineering community to...

Background: When a severe earthquake ground motion hits the structure even if it doesn’t collapse may undergoes inelastic deformations. Steel infilled with precast panels becomes less efficient when subjected to large lateral loads like strong wind and earthquake. Hence assessment of actual performance steel frames provided infills in event is essential. Methods: In current study, prototype mod...

During the analysis of reinforced concrete structures, the infill wall is usually simplified as a diagonal inclined strut to facilitate finite element modeling calculations. However, the actual seismic damage and single frame-filled wall pushover experimental results show that when the earthquake shear force is huge, the top of the infill wall and the beam–column connections are usually, thus t...
