Abstract

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the flexural behavior of cross-connected brick masonry infill wall panels supported on reinforced concrete beam grids above and below the walls. The experimental program was comprised of six wall systems. The effect of change in lower beam stiffness relative to the wall and the geometry of the main walls were investigated. From the results of the experimental tests, the increase in the depth of the lower beam grid reduces the deflection, resulting in an increase in the load carrying capacity of the wall. Further, the stiffness of the main walls affects the deflection and the failure load of the cross walls.
