Calibration of a Numerical Model for Masonry Infilled Rc Frames

چکیده
This paper introduces a finite element scheme and a systematic calibration approach for masonry infilled RC frames. The modeling scheme combines the smeared crack approach with discrete crack elements to allow for the opening of diffused flexural and dominant shear cracks. It is, therefore, able to capture the nonlinear material behavior and the interaction of the infill wall with the bounding RC frame. The proposed modeling approach and calibration methodology are evaluated with experimental data of two non-ductile, infilled, RC frames with distinct failure mechanisms. The comparison of the numerical and laboratory data indicates that the numerical models successfully capture the highly nonlinear behavior of the physical specimens.

Micro-modeling of Masonry Infilled RC Moment Resisting Frames to Investigate Arrangement of Compressive Diagonal Struts
Accurate modeling of masonry has been a major concern of the researchers in the past decades. Besides reinforced and unreinforced masonry structures, masonry can be found in frame structures as infill panels which are used as partitions and/or external walls. These elements role as a part of structure and introduce a large degree of nonlinearity into the system. In this study, a micro-modeling ...
متن کاملSeismic Performance of Reinforced Concrete Frames Infilled by Masonry Walls with Different Heights
This study carried out comparative seismic performance of reinforced concrete frames infilled by masonry walls with different heights. Partial and fully infilled reinforced concrete frames were modeled for the research objectives and the analysis model for a bare reinforced concrete frame was also established for comparison. Non–linear static analyses for the studied frames were performed to in...
متن کاملAnalysis of Masonry Infilled R.C.Frame with & without Opening Including Soft Storey by using “Equivalent Diagonal Strut Method”
Infilled frame structures are commonly used in buildings. Masonry infilled RC frames are the most common type of structures used for multi-storeyed constructions in the developing countries, even in those which are located in seismically active regions also. Masonry infill walls are mainly used to increase initial stiffness and strength of reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings. In the presen...

Abstract: Masonry infill is considered as a non-structural element in all type of buildings where masonry use. But, masonry infill walls are mainly used to increase initial stiffness and strength of reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings. This Open First storey is also termed as “Soft Storey”. The upper storeys have brick infilled wall panels with various opening percentage in it. In many cit...

Abstract: This paper introduces a new numerical method for the analysis of infilled steel frames with hollow clay blocks. This approach is based on the brittle cracking model of ABAQUS. The results of the in-plane calibration analyses obtained with four experimental tests are presented and discussed. The first test was a bare steel frame used as a control specimen. The second was similar to ...
