N2 - It is well known that the seismic effect of masonry infills is not fully considered on the reinforced concrete frame structures worldwide, though it has great influence on the overall structural behaviour during earthquakes. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of masonry- infilled walls on the RC frame response under reversed cyclic load. To pursue this goal, three large- scaled infilled RC frame specimens have been tested. Differences in results regarding stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation were obtained to evaluate the frame-to-infill interaction. These experiments focus especially on the enhancements gained by making use of masonry walls and failure modes, as compared to those of the bare frame. Conclusions are drawn by analysing hysteretic response and direct observation of the specimen.
