Abstract
Masonry infill (MI) walls are usually used in existing RC buildings around the world. Masonry infill interacts with the surrounding RC frame and contributes to the overall strength and lateral stiffness of the structure. But generally in the wall panel, masonry infill is treated as a non-structural element at design stage. Hence require to find out the behaviour of RC frame with masonry infill under earthquake force. In Indian context the research is conducted on red bricks, whereas the maximum units used in today’s scenario is Autoclaved Aerated Concrete blocks and newly developed Expanded Clay Aggregate blocks, whose property estimation in still required.
