Improving the block strength could improve the bearing capacity of frames but has little effect on the energy dissipation capacity of the frame. Removing the infill walls on the first floor would change the failure mode of the frame. The opening masonry-infilled wall reduced the energy consumption capacity and the initial stiffness of the structure. The infilled wall increased the horizontal bearing capacity of the structure and the energy dissipation capacity. Test results indicated that FE simulation results are correspondent to the testing results. Using the proposed FE models, the parametric study was performed to investigate the influence of the opening rate, the position of infill walls, and the block strength on the seismic performance of the frame. Based on the test, finite element (FE) models were developed and verified. The failure process and mode were analyzed using the digital image correlation (DIC) method. This study investigated the seismic performance of a 1/3 scale, three-story, and three-span RC frame subjected to static cyclic lateral loading.
