Seismic Performance of a Masonry Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frame Building Designed as per Indian Codes
In the Indian subcontinent and many other parts of the world, it is a common practice to use masonry infills as partitions in framed buildings. Masonry infills are widely known to interact with the surrounding frames and change the dynamic characteristics and seismic performance of the frame buildings. However, the current Indian design codes do not adequately cover the design of frame buildings with masonry infills. As a result, the designers continue to design frame buildings while ignoring the infills. It is assumed that the infills added to the frame buildings will increase the strength and stiffness of frame buildings and hence enhance the seismic performance. This article reviews provisions of different national codes regarding the design of masonry infilled frames. Further, the effectiveness of the current design procedure being followed in the Indian design industry is evaluated. Performance-based seismic engineering framework is used to quantify the performance of frame designed using the mentioned design procedure. Subsequently, the performance is also compared with equivalent bare frame and fully infilled frame.
