Abstract

Abstract:Seismic performance of RC frame structures was investigated by creating 3-Dmodels of the frame for high rise building. The types of building areinvestigating are Masonry infills and shear wall. The result shows that theMasonry infills and shear wall increase the stiffness and strength of thestructure and reduce damages and drift capacity. The performance of thestructure improved from collapse prevention to immediate occupancy.

TheNon-linear static Pushover analysis has performed with the help of computersoftware E-TAB v9.7.2 for three different models of RC frame. Results of theanalysis for hinge formation, drift, displacement and performance wherecompared.

Keywords:RCframe; RC infill wall; Hinge formations, Pushover analysis, drift,   displacement.
