N2 - This paper presents two constitutive models that can be used to simulate the inelastic cyclic behavior of masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frames in a detailed manner. One is a smeared-crack model that is intended to capture diffuse cracks and crushing in concrete members and masonry units, and the other is a cohesive interface model developed to simulate crack opening and sliding in a discrete fashion. The interface model also incorporates Coulomb friction, shear dilatation, and the compaction of a mortar joint due to damage. The models have been implemented in a finite element program and used with an appropriate finite element discretization scheme to accurately reproduce the hysteretic behavior and failure mechanism of a masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frame subjected to in-plane quasi-static cyclic load reversals. The models have also been used to capture the damage progression and failure mechanism of a large-scale, threestory, infilled frame tested on a shake table.
