Abstract

Reinforced concrete structural frames can be infilled with masonry to produce structures that are very effective in resisting in-plane racking loading. Unfortunately creep and shrinkage of the columns can result in undesirable vertical load transfer onto the infill. This paper presents the results from an experimental investigation into the use of a copper-tellurium lead layer to reduce this load transfer. It is shown that the lead layer does cause a significant reduction in the load transfer, whilst not causing any deterioration in the short term racking performance of the infilled frame. It is also shown that the load transfer onto the infill can be predicted fairly accurately using finite element analyses.
