- Abstract
Reinforced-concrete (R/C) frames infilled with masonry wall, especially with the presence of an opening, are insufficiently explored structural elements. We have experimentally investigated influence of the opening's type and position to the lateral response of reinforced-concrete frames with masonry infill. Correction factors, that take into account influence of the opening's type and position in the masonry infill in relation to frame without infill, are defined as an improvement of the equivalent diagonal compression strut model. This improvement enables use of R/C frames with masonry infill, with or without openings, as structural element. Its use would result in better seismic assessment of the masonry infilled R/C frames.
