Abstract :In this study, seven steel frame systems which have different geometries were tested. One bay one story steel frame systems were filled with air-holed brick wall. The steel frames which were tested in the study have different span lenght / height ratios (L/H = 1.00, 1.25, 1.50). Each of the steel frames with different span lenght /height ratio were tested under three different conditions, first the span was empty, in the second condition the span was filled with air holed brick wall and in the third condition the span was filled with air-holed brick wall with plaster. By applying lateral forces, lateral displacements, crack patterns, failure modes and ductility were investigated on the specimens.Keywords : Infilled steel frames, lateral loads, lateral stiffness, air holed brick wall
