Abstract:The earthquake vulnerability of the buildings has become more important after significant structural damages due to seismic events. The Quadrants assessment method is one of the effective procedures for the determination of the earthquake performance of the buildings. In this study, the impact of the infill walls on the structural vulnerability of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings was investigated using this method. Five different building models are designed such as bare RC frame, RC frame with strut infill … Show more
