AbstractThis study analytically investigated the behavior of reinforced concrete frames with masonry infills. For the analysis, VecTor2, a nonlinear finite element analysis program that implements the Modified Compression Field Theory and Disturbed Stress Field Model, was used. To account for the slip behavior at the mortar joints in the masonry element, the hyperbolic Mohr–Coulomb yield criterion, defined as a function of cohesion and friction angle, was used. The analysis results showed that the lateral resistance and failure mode of the infilled frames were significantly affected by the thickness of the masonry infill, cohesion on the mortar joint–brick interface, and poor mortar filling (or gap) on the masonry boundary under the beam. Diagonal strut actions developed along two or three load paths on the mortar infill, including the backstay actions near the tension column and push-down actions near the compression columns. Such backstay and push-down actions increased the axial and shear forces of columns, and ultimately affect the strength, ductility, and failure mode of the infilled frames.

Fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) have been used as strengthening for existing RC structures for many decades. Lately, there has been a lot of interest in using FRP as internal reinforcement in beams, slabs and columns. One potential area of application could be reinforced concrete frames internally reinforced with GFRP bars. With limited research in this direction, the objective of this publication is to assess the behaviour of glass FRP (GFRP) reinforced concrete frames under reversed cyclic lateral in plane loading and to analyse the seismic performances of such elements. For the purpose of this paper, experimental testing of two 1/3 scaled down frames is conducted in displacement-controlled mode with the loading history according to ACI 374.1-05. The control sample is reinforced with conventional steel reinforcement and the results obtained are compared with the sample reinforced with GFRP bars. In summary, observations on the sample behaviour at specified drift ratio such as load-displacement behaviour, envelope curves and energy dissipation are presented.
