Door or window openings in masonry infill panels can reduce the lateral strength and
stiffness of infill-frame systems. In an effort to study these effects, a series of tests were …

The influence of masonry openings on the seismic performance of infilled reinforced
concrete frames, designed according to current code provisions, is investigated. Eight 1/3 …

A five-year, large-and small-scale, static and dynamic experimental research program, in
which more than 700 tests were conducted, has demonstrated that unreinforced masonry …

The paper presents an experimental investigation to assess some aspects of the influence of
non-structural masonry infill walls on seismic resistance of RC frames. Low cycle horizontal …

An experimental program was conducted to investigate the behavior and capacity of
concrete masonry infills bounded by steel frames. Ten concrete masonry infilled steel frame …

The influence of masonry infills with window openings on the seismic performance of
reinforced concrete (RC) frames designed according to current code provisions is …

A comprehensive study has been conducted to evaluate the safety of existing masonry
infilled R/C structures under earthquake loadings. Fourteen 1/2-scale frame specimens have …

Several reduced-scale models of single story, one and two bay Semi-Rigidly Connected
Steel frames infilled with unreinforced masonry walls have been tested under lateral cyclic …

Observations were made of the behavior of masonry infills in structural frames during the
Northridge earthquake, and an analytical technique was developed for analyzing infilled …

This thesis focuses on the seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete structures with masonry
infills, with particular interest in the development of rational procedures for the design and …
