| Abstract | The code-based design of reinforced concrete frames with masonry infills is insufficient and requires improvement. In the design against force demands, the codes handled it by reducing the period, reducing the seismic reduction factor, and increasing the force demands of members in a soft story. However, there are no provisions against displacement demands which the governing design parameter for these types of structures. This study developed a displacement-based design procedure for low to mid rise buildings with masonry infills for the Philippines. The study involved equivalent linearization and a displacement spectrum in estimating the target displacement's global force and displacement demands. Utilization of the period shift enabled identifying the initial period and stiffness required for conventional linear modeling and pseudo-dynamic structural analysis in commercial software. The application of MRSA allowed the incorporation of the calculated demands. Comparing the results with the nonlinear static procedure showed a conservative estimation of nonlinear demands. |
