Residual Seismic Performance of RC Frames with Unreinforced Masonry Infill
Abstract eng: The objective of this study is to develop a post-earthquake seismic evaluation method for RC frames with unreinforced concrete block infill. For this purpose, full-scale, one-bay, single-story specimens are tested under cyclic loadings. During the tests, residual crack widths, which can also be found in damaged buildings, are carefully measured to estimate the residual seismic capacity from the observed damage. In this paper, the relationship between the measured residual crack width and the residual seismic capacity is discussed analytically and experimentally, and the reduction factors are proposed to estimate the residual seismic capacity based on the observed damage level.
