The response of a 1:5 scale 3-story masonry-infilled RC frame which was designed only for gravity loads were simulated by using a nonlinear analysis program, RUAUMOKO 2D. The objective of this study is to understand behavior of masonry-infilled panel and to verify the correlation between the experimental and analytical responses of a masonry-infilled RC frame. It is concluded from this comparison that the strength, stiffness and local behavior of the structure can be predicted with some reliability using this macro-model.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a newly developed retrofitting scheme for masonry-infilled non-ductile RC frames experimentally and by numerical simulation. The technique focuses on modifying the load path and yield mechanism of the infilled frame to enhance the ductility. A vertical gap between the column and the infill panel was strategically introduced so that no shear force is directly transferred to the column. Steel brackets and small vertical steel members were then provided to transfer the interactive forces between the RC frame and the masonry panel. Wire meshes and high-strength mortar were provided in areas with high stress concentration and in the panel to further reduce damage. Cyclic load tests on a large-scale specimen of a single-bay, single-story, masonry-infilled RC frame were carried out. Based on those tests, the retrofitting scheme provided significant improvement, especially in terms of ductility enhancement. All retrofitted specimens clearly exhibited much better performances than those stipulated in building standards for masonry-infilled structures. A macro-scale computer model based on a diagonal-strut concept was also developed for predicting the global behavior of the retrofitted masonry-infilled frames. This proposed model was effectively used to evaluate the global responses of the test specimens with acceptable accuracy, especially in terms of strength, stiffness and damage condition.

The responses of a 1:5 scale 3-story masonry-infilled RC frame which was designed only for gravity loads were simulated by using a nonlinear analysis program, DRAIN-2DX The objective of this study is to verify the correlation between the experimental and analytical responses of masonry-infilled RC frame. It is concluded from this comparison that the strength and stillness of the whole structure can be predicted with quite high reliability using compressive strut (compression link element, Type 09) while some local behavior cannot be described reasonably.

본 논문에서는 국내 비내진상세 조적채움벽 RC 골조의 동적거동 및 손상모드를 파악하기 위하여 실규모 크기의 비내진상세 RC 골조와 조적채움벽 RC 골조를 대상으로 진동대 실험을 실시하여 응답 및 거동 특성을 비교 평가하였다. 진동대 실험 결과, 순수 RC 골조는 기둥상하부 휨균열 및 접합부 전단균열이 심화되어 최종 파괴되었다. 조적채움벽 RC 골조의 경우 골조의 손상은 비교적 작았으며 조적벽체의 중앙부의 슬라이딩 균열 및 대각 전단 균열 손상이 크게 발생하였다. 조적채움벽 RC 골조는 순수 RC 골조에 비하여 초기상태의 공진주기가 짧아졌으며 최종 가진시에서 최대변위응답은 약 62% 감소하였다. 본 연구에서 적용한 조적채움벽은 비내진 상세를 가지는 RC 골조의 강성을 약 1.6배, 최대 강도를 약 2.2배 증가시키는 데 기여하는 것으로 분석되었다.

The fundamental period is an important parameter for seismic design and seismic risk assessment of building structures. In this paper, a simplified theoretical method to predict the fundamental period of masonry infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frame is developed based on the basic theory of engineering mechanics. The different configurations of the RC frame as well as masonry walls were taken into account in the developed method. The fundamental period of the infilled structure is calculated according to the integration of the lateral stiffness of the RC frame and masonry walls along the height. A correction coefficient is considered to control the error for the period estimation, and it is determined according to the multiple linear regression analysis. The corrected formula is verified by shaking table tests on two masonry infilled RC frame models, and the errors between the estimated and test period are 2.3% and 23.2%. Finally, a probability-based method is proposed for the corrected formula, and it allows the structural engineers to select an appropriate fundamental period with a certain safety redundancy. The proposed method can be quickly and flexibly used for prediction, and it can be hand-calculated and easily understood. Thus it would be a good choice in determining the fundamental period of RC frames infilled with masonry wall structures in engineering practice instead of the existing methods.

Reinforced concrete frames with a masonry infill panel is a structural typology frequently used worldwide. In seismic cases, the interaction between the masonry infill and the RC frames constitutes one of the most complex subjects in earthquake engineering. In this work, an enhancement of an existing numerical model is proposed to improve the estimation of lateral strength and stiffness of masonry-infilled frame structures and predict their probable failure modes. The proposed improvement is based on attributing corrective coefficients to the shear strength of each diagonal shear spring of the macro element, which simulates the masonry infill. The improved numerical model is validated by comparing the results with those of the original numerical model and with experimental results available in the literature. The enhanced macro element model can be used as a powerful, accessible tool for assessing the capacity and stiffness of masonry-infilled frame structures and predicting their probable failure modes.

Masonry walls which are commonly used for partitions in low-rise reinforced concrete (RC) structures, can be easily exposed to high risks under strong earthquakes. Since the strength degradations cannot be protected under the ground motions, their applications cannot be recommended for building structures which are designed to possess high seismic performances. However, masonry-infilled walls are typically considered as non-structural elements in evaluating the seismic performance of building structures. In order to figure out this problem, this study performed experiments using two specimens-only RC frame and RC frame infilled with masonry walls- under static loading. Also, the study established analytical models representing fully infilled frames and bare frame, and compared their structural behavior with test results. In addition, analytical model representing partially infilled frames was established and analyzed. Test results indicated that strength and energy dissipating capacity were increased for IW-RN(fully infilled frames) compared to the NW(bare frame). The nonlinear static analysis of the three specimens was also conducted using the inelastic plastic hinge frame element and diagonal strut models, and the analytical results successfully simulated the nonlinear behaviour of the specimens in accordance with the test results.

Experimental programs were accomplished to improve and evaluate the structural performance of RC frame structures with masonry infilled wall, such as the hysteretic behavior, the maximum horizontal strength, crack propagation, and ductility etc. Test variables are restraining factors of frame, with or without masonry infilled wall, and masonry method. Six reinforced concrete rigid frame and masonry infilled wall were tested and constructed in one-third scale size under vertical and cyclic loads simultaneously. Based on the test results, the following conclusions can be made. For masonry infilled wall with restraining factors of frame(IFWB-1~3), cumulated energy dissipation capacities were increased by 1.35~1.60 times in comparision with that of masonry infilled wall(IFB-1) at final stage of testing. For masonry infilled wall with restraining factors of frame, maximum horizontal capacities were increased by 1.91~2.24 times in comparision with that of rigid frame.

일반적으로 조적조는 시공이 용이하고 경제적인 구조로서 국내뿐만 아니라 해외에서도 가장 오래되고 광범위하게 사용되는 구조이다. 조적벽을 RC 골조에 장막벽으로 사용하는 채움벽 형태의 구조는 시공이 용이하고 경제적이기 때문에 저층 주거용 건물, 학교건물 등에 많이 적용되고 있으나, 설계시에는 비구조부재로 취급되어 채움벽의 효과를 반영하지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 사각형 조적개체의 횡력에 대한 취약성을 개선하기 위해 개발된 육각형 블록을 RC 골조 채움벽에 적용한 채움벽 골조에 대한 구조실험을 수행하여 육각형블록 조적채움벽의 효과를 평가하고자 하였다.
