This study proposes an improved numerical model to accurately estimate the lateral strength and stiffness of masonry-infilled frame structures and predict their probable failure modes. The correctness of the improved model is validated by comparing it with the original numerical model and experimental results. This enhanced macro element model serves as a powerful and accessible tool for assessing the capacity and stiffness of masonry-infilled frame structures and predicting their probable failure modes.
Reinforced concrete frames with a masonry infill panel is a structural typology frequently used worldwide. In seismic cases, the interaction between the masonry infill and the RC frames constitutes one of the most complex subjects in earthquake engineering. In this work, an enhancement of an existing numerical model is proposed to improve the estimation of lateral strength and stiffness of masonry-infilled frame structures and predict their probable failure modes. The proposed improvement is based on attributing corrective coefficients to the shear strength of each diagonal shear spring of the macro element, which simulates the masonry infill. The improved numerical model is validated by comparing the results with those of the original numerical model and with experimental results available in the literature. The enhanced macro element model can be used as a powerful, accessible tool for assessing the capacity and stiffness of masonry-infilled frame structures and predicting their probable failure modes.
