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 is neglected as the simple curtain wall generally.But actually it is appeared the bearing force of infilled will is not vanished.In this regards, this paper is based on the investigation of the bearing force as shown on the figure-1 which contains six different models. Experimental research have been carried out for the analysis of structural behavior in masonry wall which is subjected to horizontal and vertical forces simultaneously.In the experimental research, the infilled frame is compared with the infilled frames which have variation of openings.Results of this experiment provide crack mode and bearing efficiency, of frame, then author desire to provide the basic data for the design of masonry structure. |
