Abstract
- Masonry infill (MI) walls are well known for its architectural and aesthetical importance and are considered as non-structural element. The great Bhuj earthquake struck India in 2001, from field investigation it was observed that open ground storey buildings were severely damaged as compared to full scale MI buildings. The current study focuses on effect of MI walls on seismic response of open ground storey reinforced concrete (RC) frames. It is important to consider structural importance of infill walls due to increased frequency of earthquake. This study investigated the changed behaviour of building model due presence of less or no infill walls. This research shows base shear, storey drift, storey displacement, natural period, storey shear, internal forces results and numerical simulations of results are presented in form of graphs, figures and tables in comparative way.
