This paper presents an explicit behaviour of Reinforced Concrete frame by considering the masonry infill wall material fully and partially in the structure. A two storey 2D frames of six different cases and 10 storey 3D building of four different cases with fully and partially assignment of infill masonry walls. Analysis was performed in E-TABS software for all the 10 cases by generating synthetic earthquake matched time history with response spectrum. The study was carried out the effect of infill wall on the behaviour of column. The results were discussed and maximum storey displacements were taken in to consideration to study the behavior of the structure. The Storey displacements for the ten cases were taken in to account and revealed that higher displacements were observed in the cases with the partial infill and effect on column due to the partial or absence of infill wall adjacent to the column.

A novel structural wall with hinge support and buckling restrained braces (BRBs) set in the base (HWBB) is studied. HWBB can be applied to precast manufacturing due to its considerable ductility and the separate loading mechanism in HWBB–frame structure. In elastic stage, BRBs play a brace role to make the hinged wall resist horizontal forces like a shear wall. BRBs dissipate seismic energy through plastic and hysteresis effects after yielding and the damage is only concentrated in BRBs. The performance of an HWBB is equivalent to a shear wall structure with excellent ductility and stable energy dissipation capacity. Numerical analysis indicates that the hinged wall body in the HWBB well controls the deformation mode of the structure, avoiding the concentration of story drifts, thereby protecting the remaining parts of the structure. It is revealed that the moments of the wall body will generate significant increments after BRBs yielding, and the Seismic Intensity Superposition Method is proposed to calculate the moments. In this method, nonlinear response of an HWBB can be regarded as the sum of the responses of two elastic corresponding structures excited with two parts of the seismic intensity, respectively. Modes and moments equations of the hinged wall with uniform distribution of stiffness and mass are derived, and calculation results coincide with that of the nonlinear time history analysis (NHA). For a more general case, the white noise scan method is proposed to solve the structure’s natural characteristics and to further calculate the response. Finally, the post-yielding moment calculation method and the process based on design response spectrum are proposed. It is proved that the moments from proposed Seismic Intensity Superposition Method can envelop most of the moments from NHA, and it is a good estimate of the response of HWBB in nonlinear stage.

Modal analysis is also known as dynamic analysis for mode-superposition method. In the seismic response analysis of linear structural systems, it is one of the most commonly used and the most effective ways. Through the modal analysis of building structure, we can get some basic performance parameters of the structure. These parameters can help us make qualitative judgments for the respond of a structure first, and can help us judge whether they meet demands for conceptual design. Modal analysis is also the basis of other dynamic response analysis, including dynamic time history analysis and response spectrum analysis.

The light-duty steel structure residential demonstration project is analyzed by mode-superposition response spectrum method, the elastic and elastic-plastic time-history analysis, push-over analysis, which used the finite element software ETABS and PKPM. The safety is assessed. The seismic behavior of this structural system is analyzed under different site classification, design characteristic and seismic intensity, and is compared with the ordinary steel structure, concrete structure, masonry structure. The results show that, this structural system can meet the current codes under frequent and rare earthquake action. But the column has a surplus stable stress values. And it is suitable for application in large areas in China. In high intensity areas and compared with the different structure system, it shows that the lateral has the main effect on this structure.

In the seismic codes, lateral rigidity and strength of infill panels are ignored in the design. However recent earthquakes occurred in the world has shown that infill walls change the dynamic behavior of the frame. In this article we propose to investigate the effect of infill wall on the seismic behavior of framed concrete buildings. For this purpose, a framed reinforced concrete building is considered. An equivalent diagonal strut model is used for masonry infill. The strut properties are calculated according to the FEMA306 [7]. Nonlinear pushover analysis is used to assess the seismic behavior. The results show that introduction of the masonry infill wall in the analysis modifies the behavior of bare frame. There is a drastic change in the bending moments and shear forces. The modeling of infill wall transforms the rigid frame into braced frame.

This study was developed within a research project concerning the seismic vulnerability assessment of precast industrial buildings built in Italy in the 1970s without earthquake-resistant provisions. Two reference precast buildings with beam-to-column connections based on neoprene-concrete friction strength were considered. Accurate numerical models of the existing buildings were developed and nonlinear dynamic time-history analyses with different seismic intensity levels were carried out in order to identify the main causes of structural collapse. The maximum values of the demand-to-capacity ratio in terms of chord rotation were computed for the columns of the investigated precast buildings. The capacity was larger than the demand, even in case of high levels of seismic excitation. Numerical results showed that existing precast industrial buildings can collapse due to beam-to-column connection failure for loss of support, confirming real events observed during recent earthquakes. The friction resistance was exceeded under moderate-to-severe seismic actions at the corner columns where the static vertical load was lower. Numerical analyses highlighted the detrimental effects of the vertical component of the seismic action on the likelihood of the occurrence of beam-to-column connection failure due to loss of support.
