Abstract: This paper presents an explicit behaviour of Reinforced Concrete frame by considering the masonry infill wall material fully and partially in the structure. A two storey 2D frames of six different cases and 10 storey 3D building of four different cases with fully and partially assignment of infill masonry walls. Analysis was performed in E-TABS software for all the 10 cases by generating synthetic earthquake matched time history with response spectrum. The study was carried out the effect of infill wall on the behaviour of column. The results were discussed and maximum storey displacements were taken in to consideration to study the behavior of the structure. The Storey displacements for the ten cases were taken in to account and revealed that higher displacements were observed in the cases with the partial infill and effect on column due to the partial or absence of infill wall adjacent to the column.
