Abstract
The effect of two types of shear reinforcement, with reference to two types of masonry infills, on the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) frames was experimentally investigated. Six single-story, one-bay, 1/3-scale frame specimens were tested under cyclic horizontal loading, up to a drift level of 40‰. Bare frames and infilled frames with two different infill compressive strengths were sorted into two groups based on stirrups or spirals as shear reinforcement. From the observed responses it can be deduced that rectangular spiral reinforcement is a first experience and more experiments are needed.
