The Impact of Infilled Wall on Seismic Performance of Frame Structure

Abstract:

In accordance with damages of infilled wall frame structures in Wenchuan earthquake, the current 2010 version of "Seismic Design Code of Building" is attached herewith increasing significance to infilled wall, which switches "consider the impact of infilled wall on seismic performance of frame structure and avoid main structure destruction caused by setting infilled wall unreasonably " from a general provision into a mandatory provision, however, a specific quantitative description on the impact of infilled wall on seismic performance of frame structure is still absent. The impact of infilled wall on seismic performance of frame structure is analyzed in the paper, and two suggestions pertain to design and research of infilled wall is proposed under current phase: on the one hand, "conceptual design" should be kept on highlighting in the seismic design of infilled wall frame structures; on the other hand, based on the concept of "performance-based seismic design", the idea that infilled wall should be treated distinctively is put forward.
