Response Spectrum Analysis of Concrete Structure using Brick Infill Material

– With a lateral-load-resisting system made up of RC frames that are masonry-infilled, the behavior of a popular building type in high seismic zones is studied in this paper. The current seismic code does not apply to older buildings of this type because they were typically constructed with a combination of insufficient or no lateral loads and gravity loads. Additionally, the original design did not take into account the role that infill panels play in the RC frames’ lateral load resistance, which frequently led to an overly conservative design. There are four model of G+10 building with bare frame and strut frame structure were taken or the study. Four different building models with bay width of 6m in X-direction and story height equal to 4m were considered for this study. The structures are modeled by using computer software SAP 2000vs19. The column section defined for the frame satisfies both the requirement for strength and stiffness. All the selected models were designed with M-30grade of concrete are used and Fe-415 grade of reinforcing steel as per Indian standards.
