Abstract

The main objective of the study was to investigate the importance of inter-locked brick infill in multi-storied buildings it uses masonry panels made of dry stack interlocking masonry units capable of relative sliding in plane and interlocked to prevent sliding out-of-plane. The major objective of the system is to improve the earthquake performance of framed structures with masonry panels acting as energy dissipation devices (EDD). An analytical program conducted to evaluate the behavior of different framed masonry panels. It was found that semi-interlocked masonry (SIM) panels have significant energy dissipation capacity due to friction between the masonry units. This paper presents the results of a numerical simulation of earthquake vibrations on a multi-storey reinforced concrete frame with different infills namely SIM & URM panel.
