| Abstract | An experimental and theoretical investigation of the structural
behavior of brick infilled reinforced concrete frames is presented. This is an extension of the research by MALAIVONGS (1967) who investigated the behavior of brick infilled steel frames. The primary parameters in this investigation were: width to height ratio of the brick panel, and the stiffness of bounding frame. The width to height
ratios were 0.6, 1.0 and 1.5.
Tests were performed on eight reinforced concrete frames with
brick infills and one prismatic frame without infill. All frames
were subjected to static inplane loads applied horizontally at the
top corners. The panel height of every frame was 5 ft. Two different column sections were used, viz., 6-in.x 6-in. and 6-in.x 9-in. The experimental results were compared with the theoretical values computed by the equivalent strut theory. |
