Abstract :

Researchers have been working on quite normal shape frame structures such as square and rectangular frame structures that are easily adaptable for many centuries. High-rise construction is becoming more common these days. As a result, in the case of high-rise buildings, regular shapes such as square and rectangular frame structures are insufficient in resisting lateral loads such as wind and seismic loads. To resist more lateral force for superstructures, a new geometry of frame configuration known as trapezoidal frames is adapted. Under static loading, a two-dimensional single-bay single-story reinforced concrete trapezoidal infilled frame with cement mortar as an interface and optimization of different percentages of openings in the infill were investigated. The paper specifically discusses the results such as displacement, lateral stiffness, bending moment, shear force, lateral load, and stresses in the infill wall.
