Study of Linear and Non Linear Behavior of In filled Frame

Reinforced concrete frame buildings often incorporate masonry infill panels as partitions to separate spaces\ud within a building or as cladding to complete the building envelope. However, the properties and construction\ud details of infilled panels can have a significant influence on the overall behavior of a structure. An infilled frame\ud typically consists of a steel or reinforced concrete frame with plain or reinforced brick masonry, block-work\ud infilling which restraint against lateral loads is provided by the composite action of the infill and the frame. With\ud the advancement of computational technology and ever going increasing trend of research activities, the demand\ud for inelastic design is increasing day by day. Since the brick masonry wall possesses highly heterogeneous, nonlinear\ud studies are inevitable. In this work, a study of non-linear behavior of reinforced concrete infilled frame\ud with brick masonry are carried out under lateral and combined loads using ANSYS software
