4.1 INTRODUCTION
In this chapter, a typical three-story steel simple frame with brick masonry infill
walls is evaluated making use of ASCE 41 [1] and the Iranian Code for Eval-
uation and Rehabilitation of Infilled Frame Buildings (ICERIFB) [2]. The
2
building has a total area of 1450m including the ground, first, and second
stories. The first and second stories are used for office and educational activi-
ties, respectively. The structural system in both directions is a simple frame
without any lateral load-bearing elements. The roof system is filler-joist (see
Fig. 2.26, Chapter 2) in all stories. The foundation of the building is spread
footing.
