Finite Element Micro-Modeling of Infilled Frames

In this paper, a realistic criterion is proposed to describe the frame-infill separation, in order to better simulate the complicated behavior of infilled frames under lateral loads. The basic characteristic of this analysis is that the infill/frame contact lengths and the contact stresses are esti...
