Abstract

In this research an effort is made to numerically model masonry infill with openings using a finite element based
program ATENA. Masonry infills are provided within reinforced concrete (RC) frame for various purposed that include
partitions, safety, security, aesthetics etc. Parameters like Load, displacement and energy dissipation are investigated and
compared for the experimental and numerical models. It was concluded that up to yield the program could successfully
model the behavior of masonry infill.
