Daftar Isi:
  • This study presents the suitability of using macro model (strut model) for analyzing the seismic responses of single-story single-span reinforced concrete frames having different arrangement of masonry infill wall with openings by com­par­ing its results with those using micro model (wall-element model). From the result, the infill masonry wall increases the stiffness of RC frame structure. Meanwhile, the dia­gonal strut model will give smaller natural frequencies than wall-element model. When the part of the wall opening causes the wall to have no contact with a column, short column effect will be introduced in the column. Wall-element model can predict better the short column effect than the strut model. Although under static lateral load re­placing masonry infill wall by diagonal strut was considered to be suitable for com­puting the response structure behaviour for the case without any opening in infill wall, but it is not the case for the dynamic analysis.
