    Abstract :

    In this paper, the effect of masonry infills on the seismic response of a four-story reinforced concrete frame has been studied. Seismic analysis has been performed using Response Spectra Method for different reinforced concrete (RC) frame building models that include bare frame, in-filled frame without opening and in-filled frame with opening. The results of bare frame, in-filled frame and in-filled frame with opening are discussed and conclusions are made for base shear, Displacement. In modeling the masonry infill panels the Equivalent diagonal Strut method is used and the software ETABS 2015 is used for the analysis of all the frame models.
