The present paper investigates the suitability and effectiveness of fiber-reinforced polymers
(FRP) in strengthening and/or repairing unreinforced masonry infill walls in reinforced …

This paper presents an experimental study of the seismic performance of a category of
reinforced concrete (RC) frame with weak infill panel and the complicated interaction …

It is now widely recognized that the masonry infill frame used in reinforced concrete
structures (RC) greatly enhances both the rigidity and strength of the surrounding frame. The …

Reinforced-concrete frames with masonry wall infill,“framed-masonry”, is a composite
structural system proven to be effective and efficient in the case of in plane horizontal …

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 …

A new seismic retrofit technique for unreinforced masonry infills in nonductile reinforced
concrete frames is presented. The objective was to develop a light and easy to apply retrofit …

This paper proposes a simplified approach to analyze the seismic performance of masonry
infills with sliding joints in moment-resisting frame structures. The proposed methodology …

In most of the Reinforced Concrete buildings in Greece, as well as in other earthquake
prone countries, the current infill construction, for the exterior walls of buildings, consists in a …

Infill walls, which are generally assumed as dead loads in building design, affect the lateral
resistance, stiffness, and energy consumption of the frames. Investigations conducted after …

The paper presents an experimental investigation to assess some aspects of the influence of
non-structural masonry infill walls on seismic resistance of RC frames. Low cycle horizontal …
