Abstract
Infilled walls are considered as nonstructural elements in reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings. However, they can interact with the bounding frame when subjected to lateral load and can change the load resisting mechanism and failure pattern. This paper presents the results of two full scale (single storey and single bay) RC frames which were tested using quasi-static loading. Of these, one was a bare frame whereas the second frame was constructed with infilled brick masonry wall. The data of hysteresis curves, strength, capacity curve, stiffness, energy dissipation, displacement ductility, overstrength factor, response modification factor and performance levels have been presented and discussed. The test results highlighted the positive influence of infilled wall on stiffness, strength, energy dissipation and ductility of RC frame. It was also observed that response modification factor is sensitive to the frame geometric configuration.
