In this paper a novel equivalent planar-frame model with openings is presented. The model
deals with seismic analysis using the Pushover method for masonry and reinforced concrete …

Nonlinear numerical modeling of masonry-infilled frames is one of the most complicated
problems in structural engineering field. This complexity is attributed to the existence of …

In this paper a macro-modelling approach for the seismic assessment of Infilled Frame
Structures (IFS) is presented. The interaction between frame and infill is simulated through …

Strengthening of masonry-infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings with an open first
story is needed because of the inherent irregularity in such buildings resulting in their poor …

The paper investigates the role of masonry infills on the progressive collapse response of
reinforced concrete frame structures. A wide parametric investigation is carried out to assess …

The sensitivity of the seismic response parameters to the uncertain modelling variables of
the infills and frame of four infilled reinforced concrete frames was investigated using a …

The main objective of this paper is to present a general classification scheme of the failure
modes of in-filled frames, both with and without openings. For the former, the existing …

Reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings with masonry infills represent one of the most
common structural typologies worldwide. Although, in the past, masonry infills were …

Due to the architectural efficiency of masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frames, the frames
are highly common structural forms for buildings. However, the infills can significantly modify …
