AB  - Polymer-Matrix Composites (PMC) are a major evolution for energy dissipation when used as infill
materials for seismic retrofitting of steel frames; however, they are viscoelastic materials and their mechanical
properties are considerably influenced by temperature. The present study intended to investigate the effect of
temperature on buckling failure of laminated Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) sandwich infill panels under
in-plane compression. Mode of failure under in-plane compression was studied by means of numerical analysis
with ABAQUS platform. Three different types of composite laminates have been employed for skin plates. The
effect of fiber-orientation angles on the buckling of PMC infills was studied with four cases of simple stacking
sequences. As well as contact length between frames and infill. Results showed that buckling resistance was
proportional with contact length and inversely proportional with temperature variation. Furthermore, the
laminate stiffness could be modified by orientation of fiber in laminates which could increase the infill panels
strength. Among the three materials studied, CFRP showed the most superior properties.
