Abstract


In this study, a series of experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of anchor bars on steel frame systems where the connections were provided by anchor bars between frame and infilled walls. Seven one over four scaled specimens having one story and one bay of frames were tested. Experimental study was carried out by damage-controlled and incrementally applied load up to loading cracks. The test results relieved that with the help of using anchor bars the capacity of energy absorption with initial stiffness were increased. It has been found that the frames without using anchor bars failure at the loading edge, the crushing behavior of infilled walls and separations at free edges were occurred. These observed failure behaviors replies with tensile cracking for the frames having anchor bars. There for it should be underlined that anchor bars have a significant effect on improving the behavior of the frames.


Keywords
