Abstract

In this study, we investigate the effects of three types of non-structural reinforced concrete (RC) facade walls on the impending advanced failure of an RC frame. Linear and nonlinear static analyses are performed for RC frames with and without non-structural walls under three different column loss scenarios. Under an opening rate of 60%, wing-type facade walls are more structurally sound than parapet- and panel-type walls. Panel-type walls can induce shear failure of the connected beam members and are the least preferable of the three types of walls considered in this work.
