SEISMIC ANALYSIS OF MASONRY INFILLED RC FRAME RESTING ON SLOPING GROUND
In this study finite element analysis of multistorey infilled frame building resting on sloping ground subjected to the seismic force is analyzed considering infill wall. In the present study, the performance of the building resting on slope has been studied for different slopes of 0°, 15°,20°, 25° and 30°. The building resting on slopes are analyzed for presence of with and without masonry infill wall at different sloping ground condition. Analyzing the performance of the building for slope and presence of masonry infill wall, it has been found that, building with infill wall gives better performance compared to bare frame. In the present study it has been noticed that the frame without infill at ground floor shows drastic increase in the deformation, base shear and member forces compared to infill frame with infill at ground floor. With increase in slope of ground the infill frame with short column compared to infill frame with long column at ground floor shows the decrease in the deformation and increase in the base shear and member forces.
