The important contribution of infill walls in the resistance of earthquake loads is documented
along with a presentation of the behavior modes of the infill and the bounding frame …

In this study, the effect of masonry infill walls on the progressive collapse mechanisms of
steel frames is investigated. Three two-story by four-bay steel frames are designed: a bare …

This work concerns an assessment of the behavior of infilled frames. The feasibility of
possible immediate implementation of some recent developments both in analysis and …

An extensive statistical analysis is conducted on experimental data to achieve a formula for
the strength and stiffness of masonry-infilled frames having central openings. For this, most …

The influence of openings on lateral behaviour of low‐shear strength masonry infilled
reinforced concrete frames is investigated. The design of the reinforced concrete frames in …

This study numerically investigates progressive collapse mechanisms of post-tensioned RC
frames under column removal scenarios by using the finite element method. The primary …

This paper investigates the combined influences of infill walls and floor slabs on mechanical
behaviors of post-tensioned (PT) reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures against collapse …

Eight half‐scale brick masonry walls were tested to study two important aspects of confined
masonry (CM) walls related to its seismic behavior under in‐plane and out‐of‐plane loads …

The traditional construction of masonry infills adjacent to RC structural elements is still
widely adopted in European countries, including seismically active regions. Given the …

Steel framed structures are routinely infilled with masonry or concrete walls. The infill offers
in-plane shear resistance that adds to the one from the steel frame. However, the stiffness …
