Un-reinforced masonry walls are commonly used as infills in reinforced concrete (RC)
buildings. These buildings have high in-plane stiffness and strength, and therefore, the …

The masonry infill walls influence substantially the response of reinforced concrete (RC)
buildings under lateral loading due to their contribution to strength and stiffness. In the …

This study focuses on the in-plane behaviour of unreinforced masonry (URM) infill walls
installed in reinforced concrete (RC) frames. Five 1/4-scale model frames were designed …

Reinforced concrete frame buildings with masonry infill walls are one of the most popular
structural systems in the world. In most cases, the effects of masonry infill walls are not …

Masonry infill is generally treated as non-structural element and is usually neglected during
the design in spite of its strength and stiffness contribution to the lateral load resistance. The …

Aimed at investigating the effect of openings on the in‐plane behaviour of masonry infills in
reinforced concrete frames, a parametric study is presented based on model calibration via …

The paper presents results of a finite element (FE) study of several critical geometric
parameters on the out-of-plane behaviour of concrete masonry infills bounded by reinforced …

Buildings with masonry infill walls (MIWs) in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are commonly
used all around the world. It is well known that infill walls may affect the strength, stiffness …

Masonry infills, which generally have high stiffness and strength, play a crucial role in lateral
load response of reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings. Geographically, there is a large …

The ratio of frame strength and stiffness to masonry infill are major parameters that influence
the seismic capacity of masonry infill. The influence of such parameters to seismic capacity …
