Experimental and analytical studies were conducted to develop next generation infill walls with supplemental seismic performance designed according to clients' needs. A prototype of infill wall was designed based on an interlocking block wall capable of resisting out-of-plane loads. Fundamental data were collected to evaluate supplemental seismic performance of several kinds of interlocking block infill. As a result, their seismic performance could be controlled by materials of blocks. Moreover, focusing on an Indonesian earthquake-damaged building, analytical investigations were carried out based on the test results. Contributions of different types of infill to the seismic performance of the building were clarified through seismic risk analyses.
