Abstract(s)

The aim of this research is to contribute to increase the understanding regarding the infill panels’ OOP behavior and evaluate the influence of different variables in the panel’ performance, such as: gravity load and panel support condition. For these experimental tests were carried composed by two full-scale infill panels subjected to uniform OOP pressure applied by airbags, subjected to gravity load applied in the top of the frame ‘columns and the other one was built partially supported in the bottom beam. The second goal of this work was to perform a comparative study between these two specimens with other three tests already tested.
