Abstract

Comprehensive experimental and numerical studies are carried out on the dynamic characteristics of 3 dimensional (D) reinforced Concrete (RC) frame with Masonry Infill (MI). MI though considered as non-structural element largely affect strength, stiffness and ductility of the framed structure during the application of lateral loads such as wind and earthquake loads. This paper is a part of a collaborative research project between CPRI and BARC focusing on the influence of MI on the natural frequencies of 3D RC frame and comparison of the results with the design codes. A 3D RC frame having two bays and three storeys is designed and detailed as per the relevant Indian standard codes. A simple numerical model is being formulated to obtain the natural frequencies in the FE analysis and Tri-axial shake table of 3m × 3m is used for the experimentation. The details of the numerical analysis and experiments carried out in the research work are brought out in this paper.
