Analytical Prediction of the Seismic Performance of Masonry Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frames Subjected to Near-Field Earthquakes

In the recent past, a number of ground motions with large velocity pulses have been recorded in the near-field regions of earthquakes. A ground motion recorded in the near-field region of a strike-slip earthquake (i.e., near the fault rupture of the earthquake) exhibits distinctive long-period velocity pulses that are characteristic of near-field earthquakes and are not found in far-field ground motion records. The present study is based on analytical evaluation of the effect of distribution of masonry infill panels over the elevation of planar masonry-infilled RC frames on the seismic response of the frame subjected to near-field earthquakes implementing rational seismic analysis methods within the performance-based framework such as nonlinear dynamic time-history analysis and nonlinear static force-displacement (push-over) analysis using realistic and efficient computational models. Despite intense worldwide research in the area of masonry infilled frame structures during the past few decades, displacem...
