Abstract
The seven-storey reinforced concrete infilled frame model is designed by scaling down the real dimension of the model to ¼ scale down model. This model is designed with opening in the masonry infill part at the centre portion of the masonry infills. The single-bay seven-storey model is designed and analysed using the finite element modelling software. The stiffness and displacement of the reinforced concrete infilled frame is measured in this study. The lateral loading is applied at the one end of the frame at three storey different locations of storey. The load applied in the third, fifth and seventh floors of the frame and their deflections are measured for the respective loads. The loading pattern that are applied in the frame is static loading. The bare frame and the RC frame with infilled masonry having opening in it are compared each other by analytical model. The stiffness for IFCMO is 54.5% higher than the bare frame and IFPO frame due to the rigidity property of the cement mortar interface. This result confirms that IFCMO have better stiffness but the failure will be happened suddenly at one point. But, IFPO frame has its elastic interface medium resist the sudden failure and achieves maximum displacement than other frames.
