  1. NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF URM INFILL WALLS in RC FRAMES:CRITICAL MODELING ASPECTS KHALID m. mosalam UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY

  2. Motivation URM Infill Walls in RC Buildings • Benefits • Significant effects on functionality • Contribute to lateral force resisting capacity & damping up to a certain hazard level • Increase the overall stiffness – may have benefits for certain cases • Detrimental Effects • Sudden brittle failure: High potential to form a soft story during shaking • Interaction with the frame: Shear failure of columns • In plane/out of plane interaction: Reduced capacity in both directions • In plane/out of plane interaction:Debris from out of plane failure, life safety concerns • Torsional effects due to asymmetric wall arrangement in plan Quantification of detrimental effects requires proper modeling

  3. Motivation Soft Story: Kocaeli EQ, Turkey, 1999 (left) Haiti EQ, 2010 (right) In-plane /out-of-plane interaction: Wenchuan EQ, China, 2008 Frame-URM interaction: L’Aquila EQ, Italy, 2009

  4. Critical Modeling Aspects In-plane/Out-of-plane Interaction: General modeling

  5. Critical Modeling Aspects In-plane/Out-of-plane Interaction: Section discretization
