Title: BEHAVIOUR OF REINFORCED CONCRETE FRAME WITH IN-FILL WALLS UNDER SEISMIC LOADS USING ETABS
Abstract: Reinforced concrete framed buildings with in-fills are usually analyzed as bare frame, without considering the strength and stiffness contributions of the in-fills. However during wind and earthquake these infill walls contribute some response of the structure. Masonry Brick infill walls have been used in Reinforced concrete Frame structures as interior and exterior partition walls. Since they are usually considered as nonstructural elements their interaction with the bonding frame is ignored in the design. Infill substantially alters the behavior of the building subjected to lateral loads such as wind and earth quake forces. However when subjected to a strong lateral loads, infill panels tends to interact with bonding frame and may induce a load resistance mechanism that is not accounted for the design. To study the performance of masonryin filled R.C frames under Brick infill wall condition, analytical investigations have been conducted. The objective of this study is to investigate the behavior of Brick masonry in-fill R.C Frames under cyclic lateral loading. The Analysis has been done using Etabs software. In this project report five different type of models has been analyzed. A 10 storey building with and without Brick infill was tested under siesmic load for case one. A 10 storey building with 4 different infill conditions are analysed.
