To investigate the lateral resistance behavior of steel plate-brick masonry composite frames,two composite frames were tested and simulated in finite element method. The failure mechanism under lateral load was abtained and development rule of steel plate's and masonry's stress and strain in control sections was analyzed. Meanwhile,masonry's influence on bearing capacity and stiffness of the composite frame was discussed,based on which simplified calculation of lateral stiffness of steel plate-brick masonry composite frames was proposed.
