Correlation of Experimental and Analytical Responses in Nonlinear Behaviors of a Masonry-Infilled RC Frame

조적채움 RC골조의 비선켱 거동애 대한 실험과 해석의 상관성

The responses of a 1:5 scale 3-story masonry-infilled RC frame which was designed only for gravity loads were simulated by using a nonlinear analysis program, DRAIN-2DX. The objective of this study is to verify the correlation between the experimental and analytical responses of a masonry-infilled RC frame. It is concluded from this comparison that the strength and stiffness of the whole structure can be predicted with quite high reliability using compressive strut (compression link element, Type 09).
