Resumen:

An experimental investigation of the behavior of confined masonry walls used as infill walls was conducted. The main variables used were the size of the frame columns, the use of the confining elements and the use of horizontal reinforcement. Six specimens scaled 1:2 were tested in pairs, each specimen in the pair having identical characteristics except that in one case the frame columns represented those of a six floor building, while in the other, columns of a three storey one. The first pair, did not have any confinement elements, in the second pair tie-columns and tie-beams were added while in the third pair horizontal reinforcement was included. The specimens were subjected to pseudo-static increasing cycles of lateral deformation. The effect of the variables is described in terms of strength and displacement capacity. Sliding was the dominant failure mode of the infill walls. © 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, London.
