Abstract
In general practice, buildings can range from small residential houses to large commercial plazas. Size of the structure may change at base with the type of building and availability of area. Bay analysis has been performed to analyze the effect of variation in number of bays on infilled frames. Four three storey models (Bare and Masonry infilled) with number of bays varying from one to four have been considered in this study. Non-linear static analysis or pushover analysis has been performed in Perform-3D and capacity spectrum method of ATC-40 followed by seismic vulnerability assessment framework proposed by Kyriakides (2007) have been used to derive the vulnerability curves for all models considered in this study. Results of seismic vulnerability assessment have been used to determine the effect of variation of number of bays on the seismic vulnerability of masonry infilled steel and RC frames. Vulnerability curves of bare frames have also been compared with the vulnerability curves of infilled frames for both steel and RC frame structures to determine the percentage decrease in the seismic vulnerability of masonry infilled frames as compared to bare frames.
