AbstractBrick infilled steel frames, subjected to single lateral inplane loads at the top, were analysed using an equivalent strut theory. Each bounding frame was a square portal steel frame, fixed at both bases and of constant section throughout. Two 1.83-meter square plain brick walls and three prismatic, 1.83-meter square, steel frames, but of different stiff nesses, were constructed and tested. Two series of three brick infills were subsequently constructed to fill these steel frames. The first series was tested up to the elastic limit for the steel frames, and the second series was tested to failure. The experimental results were compared with the theoretical results and the use of the equivalent strut theory was discussed
