It is widely accepted that infill walls play an important role in the structural response of
buildings under seismic excitations. Disregarding their influences on the seismic design and …

This study aims to investigate the effect of masonry infill wall with opening on reinforced
concrete frame due to seismic loading under the influence of storey number and panel …

Masonry infill walls are inevitable in the selfsupporting structures, but their contribution in the
resistance to earthquake loads is generally neglected in the structural analyses. The …

Previous studies on masonry infilled frames have shown that gaps between the infill and the
bounding frame can significantly affect the stiffness and strength of the infilled system …

Reinforced concrete frame structures incorporating masonry infills are common forms of
construction and can be found in many seismic regions of the world. Often these frames are …

Reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures with masonry infills are common in seismic-prone
regions. Masonry infills are activated in in-plane and out-of-plane directions under seismic …

Several factors influence the behaviour of masonry infilled frames, which have been the
subject of previous research with moderate success. The new generation of European …

This study focuses on the in-plane behavior of unreinforced masonry infill walls installed in
reinforced concrete frames. Two 1/4-scale model frames were designed, and the …

Masonry infills are commonly used as exterior or interior walls in reinforced concrete (RC)
frame structures and they can be encountered all over the world, including earthquake …

This paper presents results of a study on the out-of-plane behaviour and strength of concrete
masonry infills bounded by reinforced concrete (RC) frames with prior in-plane damage. The …
