Reinforced concrete (RC) framed buildings with open-ground-storey and masonry-infilled upper stories introduces severe stiffness- and strength-type of discontinuities, which together causes significant strength and inelastic deformation demand on ground-storey columns during ground shaking leading to partial or complete collapse of the buildings as observed in several past earthquakes around the world. Hence, it is necessary to develop a simpl...
