Analytical investigation on the development of adaptive infilled gabled frames

Abstract

Abstract Reinforced concrete infilled frame with brick masonry panel is becoming more common in recent days. Now a days this type structural frame is implemented mostly on the high-rise building because those buildings should be able to resist the lateral loads such as wind and seismic force hence, infilled frames are one of the most common lateral loads resisting system. In this study, two-dimensional single-bay, single-storey gabled infilled specimens were analyzed under static loading. The behavior of the reinforced concrete (RC) bare frame, RC infill frame with cement mortar interface is used and analyzed. In particular, the paper discusses the lateral stiffness of the frames and gives a comparative study between gabled frame and rectangular frame under static lateral load with varying parameters based on the obtained results such as displacement, lateral stiffness, bending moment and lateral load are carried out.
