SUBJECT :Masonry Infills
In normal practice & design offices the RCC frame are analysed for seismic forces by ignoring the infills.The presense of infills which are physically present increases the mass & the stiffness of the structure hence likely to increase the seismic forces,so by completely ignoring the infills in our analysis may not result in getting the true behavior of the structure
If would be good if the 1893 code comes out with a clause that guides the engineers when to consider the infills in the analysis & when to ignore it.
