The infill walls are usually considered as nonstructural elements and, thus, are not taken into
account in analytical models. However, numerous researches have shown that they can …

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 …

Abstract Reinforced Concrete (R/C) buildings with masonry infills are amongst the most
common structural systems in many countries with regions of high seismicity. The infill walls …

Recent earthquakes have highlighted the high vulnerability of the industrial structures that
are not specifically designed for accounting seismic forces. Among them, a widespread …

Abstract On October 30th, 2020, at 14: 51, İzmir was hit by an Mw= 6.6 magnitude

A rational and sustainable method for bringing the existing buildings to current antiseismic
safety levels should take in consideration the effect of the infill masonry on the behaviour of …

Historic buildings are important parts of our cultural heritage and contribute to the social and
economic of communities. Hinged steel frames with masonry infill walls were extensively …

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 …

In the last few decades, the scientific community has been extensively involved in the
investigation about the interaction between infill masonry walls and RC frames in the …

The presence of masonry infill walls in RC buildings is very common. However, and even
today, in the design of new buildings and in the assessment of existing ones, these infill …
