Study on Influence of Infilled Wall of RC Frame Structures

Abstract:

Based on the simulation of a eight-storey reinforced concrete(RC) frame, study has been carried out considering the rigid effect of infilled wall to explore the effect of masonry infilled on the framework by the difference of its quantity . MIDAS structural analysis software is used to make modal analysis and response spectrum analysis for the finite element models. In current chinese specification, infilled wall is often considered as nonstructual components in the buildings regardless load-supporting and shear-resistant action while the impact of rigid effect of infilled wall is not properly considered simply with the method of the reduction of structures’ vibration period. In this paper, a comparison to the current code was also made to get a better understanding of the difference between these two approaches.
