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.

描述填充R / C框架的地震破坏的工程需求参数的研究

当前的研究调查了在基于性能的地震工程的背景下，基本响应量捕获R / C建筑物地震响应的填充效应的能力。为了达到这个目的，研究了大量具有不同结构体系，层数和砌体填充物分布的平面R / C建筑物。建筑物使用非线性时程分析对于许多调整到10张不同地震强度适当地选择实际的地面运动的记录进行分析。为了评估每个建筑物的预期结构损坏状态，使用了几种不同的损坏措施。所采取的响应措施是基于位移，局部变形和每个单元的耗散能量的参数，以及能够在更少的楼层中捕获响应模式和破坏集中度的参数。该研究表明，为了评估填充对全局响应的影响，至少需要三个响应参数。但是，如果有必要根据单个参数来估计填充效果的性质，则可以根据柱的变形需求提出一种新的破坏措施。该参数可用作相对有效的指标。提出了一种基于圆柱变形需求的新的破坏措施。该参数可用作相对有效的指标。提出了一种基于圆柱变形需求的新的破坏措施。该参数可用作相对有效的指标。
