Abstract

Masonry infill is usually analysed assuming the infill as continuous, without openings. However, in reality, the openings are essentially present in infill for door, windows, ventilation and other purposes. This opening significantly affects the seismic performance of masonry infill building. In present study, a parametric study is conducted to obtain the effect of amount of opening on seismic performance. For seismic analysis, nonlinear dynamic response history analysis is used, which is most accurate method of analysis. It is observed that amount of opening has significant effect on seismic response of building.
