- Description
- A new building system based on Semi-Interlocking Masonry (SIM) is being developed at the Centre for Infrastructure Performance and Reliability, University of Newcastle, Australia, to improve the seismic behaviour of framed structures with masonry infill panels. SIM panels are built with drystacked masonry units capable of relative sliding in-plane of a panel but locked against relative out-ofplane movement. Panels are designed to dissipate earthquake energy through sliding friction between bricks during seismic vibration. SIM's in-plane stiffness is lower compared with traditional masonry infill panels. This helps to reduce potential damage due to earthquake. This paper aims to study the effect of SIM infill panels on the yield displacement, the displacement ductility, and damage mechanisms of a multi-storey steel frame structure through finite element numerical simulation of non-linear static response.
