Nonlinear numerical simulations have been widely used to study the inelastic response of
reinforced concrete structures as well as load bearing masonry walls subjected to …

Lateral loads annually destroy many reinforced concrete structures in different countries.
However, there is a necessary need to retrofit masonry infill walls to utilize them as lateral …

In this study, two reinforced concrete frames with hollow clay tile masonry infill walls,
retrofitted with diagonally applied carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP), which were …

Masonry infill are used to fill the spans between the vertical and horizontal resisting
elements of building frames, presuming that these infill will not take part in resisting any kind …

Much of the research on the strengthening of masonry structures has focused on
strengthening of unreinforced masonry structures; as a result, most strengthening design …

Infill masonry (IM) walls are considered to be non-structural elements but, when subjected to
earthquakes, they tend to interact with the surrounding RC (reinforced concrete) frames …

In this paper different modelling techniques for the simulation of masonry infill panels inside
R/C frame structures are investigated in an effort to develop a model that can capture the …

Experimental testing is considered the most realistic approach to obtain a detailed
representation of the nonlinear behaviour of masonry-infilled reinforced concrete (RC) …

The objective of the presented research was to investigate seismic strengthening of non-
structural brittle masonry infill walls of reinforced concrete (RC) frames by Carbon Fiber …

An experimental program conducted at Enel-Hydro ISMES showed that externally applied
fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs) are effective in increasing the load-carrying capacity of …
