Seismic Analysis of G+15 RCC Building Frames: A Comparative Study with and without Masonry Infill Walls - A Review

In regions like India where seismic activity is prone, reinforced concrete
frames with masonry infill walls are a prevalent practise. Masonry
infill walls are typically treated as nonstructural elements in structural
analysis, only their mass contribution is taken into account. Their
structural characteristics, such as strength and stiffness, are typically
ignored. Structures in seismically active regions are particularly
susceptible to catastrophic damage. A structure must endure lateral
loads that could cause severe strains in addition to gravity force.
Reinforced concrete frames are still the most widely used in building
construction today. It is known as a brick infill wall or panel when brick
or masonry is used to cover the vertical space left by the columns and
beams in reinforced concrete frames. In this study, diagonal strut will
take the role of the infill walls, analysis will be done. contrasting the
outcomes of the computerised model study for constructions made of
G+ 15 that have and don’t have infill. For the purposes of comparison,
we examine the results for base shear, lateral floor displacement, story
drift by buildings.
