Abstract: A reinforced concrete frame with masonry wall infill, “framed-brick work”, is a composite basic structure demonstrated to be feasible and effective on account of in-plane smooth excitations. Numerous models have been proposed for simulation of the behavior of masonry infills. The act of utilizing infill walls has been under investigation as it has both positive and negative impacts on the behavior of the structure under horizontal load. An enormous number of experimental and diagnostic examinations have been embraced in the past to research the behavior of such frames. The paper has focused on the working principles and the fundamental highlights of a recently created retrofitted masonry infill frames (RMIF) with carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets of RMIF. The presence of CFRP retrofitted in infill frames changes the behavior of the structure under substantial loads. The behavior examination, for example, deflection, ductility and tensile strength, is investigated for clay brick and fly ash bricks examples. For approval reason, this investigation utilizes feed forward back propagation neural network (FFBN) procedure. The correlation between experimental and the predicted values demonstrated that while the mechanical properties can be predicted for each specimen up partly by a portion of these models with the exact outcome achieved as a minimum error.
