Abstract
Masonry-infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frames are widely used in construction due to their high strength and durability. However, the interaction between the infill and the frame can induce various damage patterns, making the evaluation of their seismic performance is challenging. Analytical and experimental studies have been conducted to investigate the behavior of these structures under in-plane lateral loading. In this paper propose a simplified micro modeling approach using commercial software (ABAQUS) to simulate the behavior of infilled RC frames using local brick samples. The proposed model is validated using experimental data, demonstrating its capability to predict the load-displacement response of masonry-infilled RC frame structures. This research addresses an essential aspect of construction engineering. The seismic assessment of these frames is crucial for ensuring structural safety and resilience. By employing the Concrete Damage Plasticity (CDP) model and Drucker Prager criterion, the model accurately capture the complex behavior of infilled RC frames subjected to monotonic loading. These findings contribute to the understanding of the seismic behavior of these structures, providing valuable insights for improved design and retrofitting strategies.
