Extensive experimental investigations into the behavior of reinforcement concrete and steel frames with infill have been conducted worldwide. However, there are very few systematically created and publicly available databases on infilled frame experiments. This article assembles a database of 264 experiments on single-story infilled frames, which includes specimens with different types of frames and panels. It has been utilized by the authors (in separate studies) to develop (1) empirical equations for modeling the infill panels as equivalent struts and (2) machine learning models for failure mode classification. The intent is for the database to be augmented and further used in various other applications in studying the seismic behavior of masonry-infilled frames.
