Computational Study on the Effects of Gravity Load on OoP Inter Storey Drift Approach of URM Infilled RC Frame

This paper presents a study on effects of gravity load on OoP behaviour of RC frames with URM infill panels. The study was carried out on a 3D FE micromodel using inter – storey drift approach. Six distinct models were observed for each case, i.e. with and without the gravity load. Models differ in account of having / not having infill and various types of openings (different sizes and positions). From the results analysis, high agreeance with other experimental studies was found. Also, it was found that two approaches differ greatly. Without the gravity load, the infill developed negligible stresses and arching action was not detected. On the contrary, with the gravity load the infill obtained greater stresses, damage and two-hinged arching action was detected. In both cases, the initial stiffness was not affected by the infill or the opening. Infill and openings did modify the post peak behaviour in the case of models with gravity loads.
