Abstract : In India, it is a common practice to provide masonry in-fill as a non-participating member in multi-storeyed buildings. However, it is well known that such in-fills do contribute significantly in lateral load resistance. A parametric study on the lateral load response of the multi-storeyed RC framed system with ACB masonry in-fill has been presented. The parameters include the span of the bay, effect of openings and effect of open ground floor. Finite element analysis has been adopted for this study to estimate the lateral drift, stresses in the in-fill and the moments developed in the RC members. In order to evaluate the relative merits of ACB masonry in-fill vis-à-vis the conventional concrete block masonry in-fill, the same building system was modelled with the properties of concrete block masonry as well. The outcome of the analysis has been presented with a particular focus on highlighting the relative merits of adopting ACB masonry as an in-fill. Index Terms- ACB Masonry, Lateral Load, Masonry In-Fill, (MI-RC) Frames, Modal Participation.
