This research aims to find the effect of perforation on the lateral stability of reinforced concrete framestructure. Unreinforced brick masonry (URBM) infill construction is very common practice in Pakistan. (URBM) isexperimentally evaluated in this paper that how perforations in frame structures with masonry infill affect the lateralstrength and over all stability, which include; Strength, Stiffness, Ductility and Energy dissipation response factor. Atotal of two full scale Reinforced concrete frames with unreinforced brick masonry infill has been constructed. QuasiStatic cyclic testing performed on each infill wall Reinforced concrete frame with unreinforced brick masonry to find itsstrength and stiffness. Perforation in infill walls reduced lateral strength and stiffness of frame structures considerably.
