Abstract
The current study investigates the ability of basic response quantities to capture the infill effect on the seismic response of R/C buildings within the context of performance based earthquake engineering. To accomplish this purpose, a large number of planar R/C buildings with different structural systems, storeys' number and masonry infills' distributions are studied. The buildings are analyzed using nonlinear time-history analyses for a number of appropriately chosen real ground motions records scaled to 10 different seismic intensities. For the evaluation of the expected structural damage state of each building several different damage measures are used. The response measures adopted are parameters based on the displacement, the local deformation and the dissipated energy per element, as well as parameters capable of capturing the response pattern and the damage concentration in fewer storeys. The research study revealed that in order to assess the infill effect on the global response at least three response parameters are needed. However, if it is necessary to estimate the nature of the infill effect on the basis of a single parameter, a new damage measure based on the deformation demand of columns s proposed. This parameter can be used as an relatively efficient indicator.
