The masonry infill walls' seismic behaviour is being characterized by extensive damages
and out-of-plane (OOP) collapses due to combined in-plane and OOP loading demands …

The importance of non-structural components in building performance under seismic action
is well recognized in the scientific community. Damage to residential buildings registered in …

This paper explores innovative techniques by combining inorganic textile-based composites
with thermal insulation for the simultaneous seismic and energy retrofitting of the existing old …

This paper presents a technique for retrofitting nonseismically reinforced concrete (RC)
masonry-infilled frames with textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) jacketing. In the present study …

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are increasingly being used to
strengthen structures and to retrofit existing structures. CFRP composites are used in various …

A total of 12 experiments were carried out to evaluate the effect of prior in-plane damage on
the out-of-plane response of structurally and thermally retrofitted masonry wallettes …

This research was to investigate the behavior of masonry infilled reinforced concrete frame
strengthening with expanded metals under cyclic loading. In this study, a prototype frame …

The behaviour of reinforced concrete frames with masonry wall infills is influenced a lot by
the stiffness and strength difference between the frame and the infill, causing early …

Monetary losses induced by earthquakes in Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings are mainly
due to damage to non-structural elements (infills, partitions, finishes, etc.). In this study …

Based on the increasing demand of the self-interlocking stabilized earth blocks in masonry
industry and history of the earthquake losses, research study on strengthening and …
