Masonry infill walls are unavoidable parts of any building to create a separation between
internal space and external environment. In general, there are some prevalent openings in …

The present work concerns the numerical investigation of reinforced concrete frame
buildings containing masonry infill panel under seismic loading that are widely used even in …

Infill walls are the most common separator panels in typical reinforced‐concrete (RC) frame
structures. It is crucial to investigate the influence of the infill walls on the earthquake …

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 …

This study presents a finite element (FE) model, the accuracy of which is verified by the
comparison between the numerical and test results. The calibrated model is used to …

Reinforced concrete (RC) frames with masonry infills can be encountered all over the world,
especially in earthquake prone regions. Although masonry infills are usually not considered …

Despite extensive research studies, the seismic response of infilled reinforced concrete
buildings remains an open problem due to both the complexity of the interaction between …

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 …

One of the important factors is the infill walls in the change of the structural rigidity, ductility,
dynamic and static characteristics of the structures. The infill walls are not generally included …

The infill masonry walls are seldom included in numerical analysis of reinforced concrete
structural systems, since masonry panels are generally considered as non-structural …
