Abstract The great interest about out of plane behavior of masonry infill walls has recently increased since it is a key point in the seismic modelling of framed structures. Their contribute to the whole seismic resistance of a framed building cannot be skipped. After a review of the literature on the subject, this paper presents a trilinear constitutive model for the out of plane behavior of masonry infills based on the tensile strength of the constituents. Comparisons with literature model are provided and the identification of the model is based on experimental tests.

A numerical study using a three-dimensional finite element model was conducted to investigate the arching behaviour and strength of concrete masonry infills bounded by reinforced concrete frames subjected to out-of-plane loading. Physical specimens were concurrently tested to provide results for validation of the model as well as evidence of directional characteristics of arching behaviour of masonry infills. A subsequent parametric study using the model included a wide range of infilled frame geometric properties. The results showed in detail the difference in one-way and two-way arching in terms of both strength and failure mechanism, and the contributing factors to this difference. Evaluation of the two main design equations for out-of-plane strength of masonry infills led to proposal of modifications to provide a more rational consideration of directional behaviour of concrete masonry infills. A comparison study using the available test results showed a marked improvement of strength prediction based on the proposed modification.
