Effect of Infill Walls on Seismic Behaviour of Buildings: A Review
Infill walls are used as interior partition as well as exterior barrier. It is considered to be a non-structural element. But it contributes to the enhancement of strength and stiffness of a structure, hence is accounted as beneficial to the structural performance. Generally, in design, the effect of infill is ignored. Open ground floor, however, may lead to soft storey. To study these pros and cons, researchers started including infill panels as two equivalent diagonal compression struts in the analytical models while performing analysis. Studies revealed that infill walls can provide lateral resistance to seismic and wind loads, it increases the stiffness thus the time period of the structure get reduced and reduces the inter-storey drift. During an earthquake, infill panels also aid in energy dissipation. Reinforcing infill avoids the out-of-plane collapse of the masonry wall and it enhances the ductility. The cross-laminated timber infill walls for steel moment-resisting frames are also in use. A thorough review of the effect of infill has been made in this paper.
