Abstract This paper enlightens the response or behavior of 3D RC frames with various configurations & amount of masonry in-fill, under dynamic loading conditions. A 1:3 scale, two bay three storey models of a typical office building were constructed with various locations and percentage of masonry in-fill. Components of structure ie, structural sub-assemblages of columns, beams and slabs were casted from the same materials. A series of various ground motion tests were performed on the building model using servo controlled hydraulic actuator. The dynamic characteristics, such as frequency, acceleration and amplitude were identified at each frequency level. The effect of de-bonding of masonry in-fill with RC frames with increase in base acceleration was also observed in this study. Analytical models were developed to predict the natural characteristics and dynamic properties of structure. In modal analysis, masonry in-fill was modeled as equivalent diagonal strut and thickness of strut was taken as equal to in-fill thickness. Material properties and boundary conditions were assigned suitably for in-fill.
