An Experimental study on the bearing force and efficiency of Masonry infilled frame |
| Abstract |
In R.C or S.R.C structure, the bearing force of curtain wall which is infilled with cement bricks in neglected as the simple curtain wall generally.But actually it is appeared the bearing force of infilled wall is not vanished.In this regards, this paper is based on the investigation of the bearing force as shown on the table 1 which contains seven different models. Experimental research has been carried out for the analysis of structural behavior in masonry wall which is subjected to lateral and vertical forces simultaneously.In the experimental research, the infilled frame is compared with the infilled frames which have variation of openings and establishment of lintel.Results of this experiment provide crack modes and energy efficiency of frame, then the author desires to provide the basic data for the design of masonry structure. |
