일반적으로 조적조는 시공이 용이하고 경제적인 구조로서 국내뿐만 아니라 해외에서도 가장 오래되고 광범위하게 사용되는 구조이다. 조적벽을 RC 골조에 장막벽으로 사용하는 채움벽 형태의 구조는 시공이 용이하고 경제적이기 때문에 저층 주거용 건물, 학교건물 등에 많이 적용되고 있으나, 설계시에는 비구조부재로 취급되어 채움벽의 효과를 반영하지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 사각형 조적개체의 횡력에 대한 취약성을 개선하기 위해 개발된 육각형 블록을 RC 골조 채움벽에 적용한 채움벽 골조에 대한 구조실험을 수행하여 육각형블록 조적채움벽의 효과를 평가하고자 하였다.

철근콘크리트 골조에 얇은 강판채움벽을 접합한 합성벽의 내진 성능을 연구하기 위한 실험을 실시하였다. 실험체로서 얇은 채움강판을 사용한 3층 합성벽을 사용하였다. 주요 실험 변수는 기둥의 철근비와 채움벽의 개구부이다. 비교를 위하여 철근콘크리트 채움벽과 철근콘크리트 골조에 대한 실험을 실시하였다. 강판채움벽을 갖는 합성벽 실험체는 철근콘크리트 채움벽과 동일한 하중재하능력을 나타내면서도 변형능력이 크게 향상되었다. 또한 철골 골조를 사용한 강판벽 시스템과 마찬가지로 우수한 강도, 큰 변형능력 및 에너지소산 능력을 나타냈다. RC 골조에 대한 강판채움벽의 보강효과로 기둥-보 접합부의 전단균열과 손상을 방지할 수 있었다. 스트립 모델을 사용한 해석 연구를 통하여 합성벽 실험체의 강성 및 강도를 예측하였으며, 해석결과를 실험결과와 비교했다.

The effects of plaster on the behavior of single-story single-bay masonry-infilled steel frames under in-plane base accelerations have been experimentally investigated by a shake-table. Tested structures were made in a 1/3 scale, with realistic material properties and construction methods. Steel frames with high and low flexural rigidity of beams and columns were considered. Each type of frame was tested with three variants of masonry: (i) non-plastered masonry; (ii) masonry infill with conventional plaster on both sides; and (iii) masonry infill with a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) net reinforced plaster on both sides. Masonry bricks were made of lightweight cellular concrete. Each frame was firstly successively exposed to horizontal base accelerations of an artificial accelerogram, and afterwards, to horizontal base accelerations of a real earthquake. Characteristic displacements, strains and cracks in the masonry were established for each applied excitation. It has been concluded that plaster strengthens the infill and prevents damages in it, which results in more favorable behavior and increased bearing capacity of plastered masonry-infilled frames compared to non-plastered masonry-infilled frames. The load-bearing contribution of the adopted PVC net in the plaster was not noticeable for the tested specimens, probably due to relative small cross section area of fibers in the net. Behavior of masonry-infilled steel frames significantly depends on frame stiffness. Strong frames have smaller displacements than weak frames, which reduces deformations and damages of an infill.

Many public buildings such as schools, hospitals, etc., where partial infill walls are present in reinforced concrete (RC) structures, have undergone undesirable damage/failure attributed to captive column effect during a moderate to severe earthquake shaking. Often, the situation gets worsened when these RC frames are non-ductile in nature, thus reducing the deformable capability of the frame. Also, in many parts of the Indian subcontinent, it is mandatory to use fly-ash bricks for construction so as to reduce the burden on the disposal of fly-ash produced at thermal power plants. In some scenario, when the non-ductile RC frame, partially infilled by fly-ash bricks, suffers major structural damage, the challenge remains on how to retrofit and restore it. Thus, in this study, two full-scale one-bay, one-story non-ductile RC frame models, namely, bare frame and RC partially infilled frame with fly-ash bricks in 50% of its opening area are considered. In the previous experiments, these models were subjected to slow-cyclic displacement-controlled loading to replicate damage due to a moderate earthquake. Now, in this study these damaged frames were retrofitted and an experimental investigation was performed on the retrofitted specimens to examine the effectiveness of the proposed retrofitting scheme. A hybrid retrofitting technique combining epoxy injection grouting with an innovative and easy-to-implement steel jacketing technique was proposed. This proposed retrofitting method has ensured proper confinement of damaged concrete. The retrofitted models were subjected to the same slow cyclic displacement-controlled loading which was used to damage the frames. The experimental study concluded that the hybrid retrofitting technique was quite effective in enhancing and regaining various seismic performance parameters such as, lateral strength and lateral stiffness of partially fly-ash brick infilled RC frame. Thus, the steel jacketing retrofitting scheme along with the epoxy injection grouting can be relied on for possible repair of the structural members which are damaged due to the captive column effect during the seismic shaking.

Masonry-infilled walls have been used in reinforced concrete(RC) frame structures as interior and exterior partition walls. Since these walls are considered as nonstructural elements, they were only considered as additional mass. However, infill walls tend to interact with the structure's overall strength, rigidity, and energy dissipation. Infill walls have been analyzed by finite element method or transposed as equivalent strut model. The equivalent strut model is a typical method to evaluate masonry-infilled structure to avoid the burden of complex finite element model. This study compares different strut models to identify their properties and applicability with regard to the characteristics of the structure and various material models.

In this study, the failure mechanisms of masonry-infilled frames, commonly employed in modern construction, are analyzed at the mesoscale. An equation has been formulated to predict various failure modes of masonry-infilled frames by examining 1392 frames. The equation takes into account variables such as the height-to-width ratio, compressive strength of the masonry prism, and plastic moment capacity of the frame section. The study reveals that the compressive strength of the masonry prism and the height-to-width ratio exert the most significant influence on the lateral strength of masonry-infilled frames with a height-to-width ratio ranging from 0.2 to 1.2. The developed equation demonstrates substantial agreement with previously reported relationships, indicating high accuracy. These findings provide valuable insights into the lateral strength of infill masonry frames, which can contribute to their improved evaluation and design.

본 논문에서는 국내 비내진상세 조적채움벽 RC 골조의 동적거동 및 손상모드를 파악하기 위하여 실규모 크기의 비내진상세 RC 골조와 조적채움벽 RC 골조를 대상으로 진동대 실험을 실시하여 응답 및 거동 특성을 비교 평가하였다. 진동대 실험 결과, 순수 RC 골조는 기둥상하부 휨균열 및 접합부 전단균열이 심화되어 최종 파괴되었다. 조적채움벽 RC 골조의 경우 골조의 손상은 비교적 작았으며 조적벽체의 중앙부의 슬라이딩 균열 및 대각 전단 균열 손상이 크게 발생하였다. 조적채움벽 RC 골조는 순수 RC 골조에 비하여 초기상태의 공진주기가 짧아졌으며 최종 가진시에서 최대변위응답은 약 62% 감소하였다. 본 연구에서 적용한 조적채움벽은 비내진 상세를 가지는 RC 골조의 강성을 약 1.6배, 최대 강도를 약 2.2배 증가시키는 데 기여하는 것으로 분석되었다.

This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the nonlinear modelling techniques available today for describing the structural behaviour of masonry infills and their interaction with frame structures subjected to in-plane loads. Following brief overviews on the behaviour of masonry-infilled frames and on the results of salient experimental tests, three modelling approaches are discussed in more detail: the micro, the meso and the macro approaches. The first model considers each of the infilled frame elements as separate: brick units, mortar, concrete and steel reinforcement; while the second approach treats the masonry infill as a continuum. The paper focuses on the third approach, which combines frame elements for the beams and columns with one or more equivalent struts for the infill panel. Due to its relative simplicity and computational speed, the macro model technique is more widely used today, though not all proposed models capture the main effects of the frame-infill interaction.

The structural behavior of reinforced concrete frame infilled with a masonry wall is investigated by the method of discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA). An interface element is developed and it is incorporated into DDA to analyze the continuous and discontinuous behavior of the masonry structure. The numerical results are compared with previous research and possess satisfactory agreement. Then the structural behavior and stress distribution of a reinforced concrete frame infilled with a masonry wall subjected to a horizontal force are studied. In addition, the justification of equivalent strut is assessed by the distribution of principal stresses. The results show that the behavior of the masonry structure is highly influenced by the failure of mortar. On the basis of the distribution of principal stress of the masonry wall in the reinforced concrete frame, the equivalent strut can be approximately substituted for the masonry wall without separation and opening. However, the application of equivalent strut to the masonry wall with separation and opening needs further study.

In order to perform a step-by-step force-displacement response analysis or dynamic time-history analysis of large buildings with masonry infilled R/C frames, a continuous force-deformation model based on an equivalent strut approach is proposed for masonry infill panels containing openings. The model, which is applicable for degrading elements, can be implemented to replicate a wide range of monotonic force-displacement behaviour, resulting from different design and geometry, by varying the control parameters of the model. The control parameters of the proposed continuous model are determined using experimental data. The experimental program includes fifteen 1/3-scale, single-story, single-bay reinforced concrete frame specimens subjected to lateral cyclic loading. The parameters investigated include the shape, the size, the location of the opening and the infill compressive strength. The actual properties of the infill and henceforth the characteristics needed for the diagonal strut model are based on the assessment of its lateral resistance by the subtraction of the response of the bare frame from the response of the infilled frame.
